A few days ago I spoke with Alexis Morin, co-founder of Students for Education Reform (SFER), a relatively new organization that organizes college undergraduates across the country to advocate for education reform. They’ve grown from their first chapter at Princeton, founded in 2009, to 20 chapters today. And, according to Morin, are looking to expand to 100 in the near future.
But they need help to do that. SFER is looking for motivated undergraduates to lead new chapters and they’re also recruiting for full-time positions to lead campus chapters at the state and national level.

Caroline, all of SFER’s chapter leaders and members are volunteers. We only pay a small number of full-time staff to support the work of our amazing chapter leaders!
Hi Ericka,
I’d love to send you more info. Email me at alexis@studentsforedreform.org.

I am a graduate student study public policy and I would love more information on leading campus chapters.
If SFER has full-time jobs to offer, it will readily find students and new graduates who are willing to “commit” to its philosophy, at least while the paychecks are clearing. (For that matter, it would be interesting to talk to paid reform spokespeople after they leave the paid-reform-spokesperson field — that includes some names on this masthead.)
