Working Groups
What is a Working Group?
Groups of volunteers that come together where they see a need for raising awareness or research to promote issues or causes that they feel passionate about and that are not already being addressed on campus or in the local community. Working Groups allow members to focus on their goals while receiving necessary support from the LSPIRG umbrella, such as partnering, training, resources, and advice.
Working Groups can be big or small, single event-oriented, long or short term and cover a wide range of topics – LSPIRG welcomes and encourages diversity and creativity.
