UNICEF
UNICEF is a wonderful organization that fights for the
rights of impoverished children and families in countries across the
world. I would be very interested in
working for UNICEF. Currently there are
short term positions available in the education field in many countries. Unfortunately the websites says that they receive
many more applications than they have availability for placement. Skills for this job would depend on the place
and issue that you are working towards resolving. For me that might include a degree in
education as well as experience working with families of different cultures
International Child
Resource Institute
A program I found interesting on a national level is the
International Child Resource Institute.
This program helps to promote a world where all communities have the
resources to reduce poverty (International Child Resource Institute,
2013). They work in grass roots community
efforts to alleviate the effects of poverty on families. There is currently a marketing internship
available. A person needs to have a commitment to world issues and a desire to
better the lives of children and families, which I have. You also have to be interested in building your
experience to include consulting work in many developing countries.
National Head Start
Working for National Head Start would be a terrific job for
me. Currently there are positions available
in the Education State Center for National Head Start. To be successful in this position, I would
need a back ground education in earlychildhood education as well as a master’s
degree or doctorate in the field. I
would also need much experience working with diverse populations and have an understanding
of how Head Start functions and their mission in this field.

Stacie,
I like the National Head Start link. That sounds interesting. Sounds like a good organization to be a part of. I will definitely look into that.
Thank you.
