About Us
The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is New
York State's largest student-directed consumer, environmental and government reform organization. We are a nonpartisan, not-for-profit group established to effect policy reforms while training students and other New Yorkers to be advocates. Since 1973, NYPIRG has played the key role in fighting for more than 120
public interest laws and executive orders.
NYPIRG's 21 college campus chapters
provide much of NYPIRG's energy, resources, and activism. Each campus
chapter consists of full-time staff organizers and a large core of student
volunteers. Students at NYPIRG chapters work on projects that both support
NYPIRG's statewide agenda and focus on local issues.
NYPIRG's full-time staff produces studies on a wide array of
topics, coordinates state campaigns, lobbies public officials
and works with students.
In addition, NYPIRG's outreach program travels to communities
across the state to educate and activate local residents on vital
issues. NYPIRG's citizen membership exceeds 85,000 people from
all parts of the state. These members give NYPIRG political clout
and make our lobbying efforts successful. We are proud of the way we manage our funds. You can request a copy of our latest financial information by writing to our office at the address below. You can also find out more about our affiliate organization, NYPIRG Fund, by clicking here.
