Your On Campus Space for Community Organizing

Carleton Public Interest Research Group

Carleton PIRG is a student-led, student-funded non-profit based at Carleton University. We aim to research, educate and provide action on social and environmental justice using a non-hierarchical and consensus based space for students to organize.

Working group applications are now open! check our blog for more information.

We’re open

Located at 326 Nideyinàn, our office will be open through booking and when volunteers or board members are using the space. We’re located upstairs from the Multi-Faith Prayer Rooms, downstairs from the CUSA Office on the third floor inaccessible by elevator. To book the space please email admin@opirgcarleton.org. Currently the office is staffed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
