If you’re a college student or soon to be graduate with programming skills, consider putting them to use for a good cause! This summer U.S. PIRG is hosting a new program in which interns will improve CiviCRM, the contact relationship management component of CivicSpace and many Drupal websites.

Specifically participants will work on improving features like online petitions and tell-a-friend functions, making CiviCRM a standalone application that integrates with CMS like WebGUI, and getting it ready to use for PIRG’s network of advocacy organizations. And since we’re talking about open source code, all this work will go back out to the community. This is great news for other nonprofit organizations that use, or want to use, CiviCRM.
