Public Interest Research Groups

Summary

• Public Interest Research Groups (also known as PIRGs) are volunteer-driven, non-profit organizations across the North American continent, originally based mostly out of University campuses, but today also having robust citizen memberships. Inspiration for PIRGs started in 1970 when public advocate Ralph Nader spoke on college campuses across the country about increasing student involvement in society.
