The first organization I chose this
week was Save the Children (www.savethechildren.org). Save the Children is an organization that
helps meet children’s needs in the United States and around the world. They partner up with other organizations to
provide for children who are in need.
One job that stuck out to me was the
Coordinator for Early Steps to School. Requirements for this position include:
·
A degree in Early Childhood or related field is
preferred but not required,
·
Experience and training working in a home visiting,
infant/toddler early childhood/parenting education program,
·
Experience working with pregnant women, children
ages birth to five, and families in rural areas a plus,
·
Experience leading parent or community groups a
plus,
·
Experience with timely reporting and maintaining
accurate records on program activities,
·
Experience in collaborating with early childhood
programs in the community,
·
Individual must live in the Needles CA community
Another organization that I wanted
to focus on is World Vision (www.worldvision.org). World Vision is a Christian organization that
works with children, families, and the community to help overcome poverty and
injustice. My family is currently
supporting World Vision because of their Christian foundation and their
proactive approach to helping people from various countries combat illness,
poverty, and hunger while maintaining their Christian beliefs.
There
are currently job openings in many different areas throughout the United
States. Vacancies are in areas such as
Finance, Marketing and Communications, Advertising, Call Centers, Internet, and
Project Management. Each job has
specific qualifications associated with them, pertaining to the kind of work
each position requires. All positions
are Christ-centered so corporate each job requires the leadership of devotions,
weekly chapel services, and regular prayer time. I think this says a lot about the
organization.
The
third organization I chose for this assignment was FHI 360 (www.fhi360.org). FHI is a nonprofit human development
organization whose passion is driven by a personal commitment to make a
positive difference. In 2011, the teams
of experts from Family Health International and Academy
for Educational Development came together to create FHI 360. Together they work to “empower individuals,
families, and communities to tackle their own challenges”.
I was
surprised to see that several of the job vacancies were actually 15 minutes
from my home. I had no idea that this
organization had an office in my area.
Unfortunately the jobs posted here involve scientific research or are clerical
in nature. One job that sounds
interesting is that of an Administrative Assistant, HIV Prevention Trials
Network. Minimal requirements include:
·
High School Diploma with 1-3 years’ experience.
·
Microsoft Office Suites, preferred.
·
Ability to gather, recommend and summarize data for
reports
·
Finds solutions to various administrative problems,
and prioritizes work.
·
Work requires attention to detail in composing,
typing and proofing materials, establishing priorities and meeting deadlines.
·
Strong MS Office skills (i.e. Word, PowerPoint,
Excel)
·
Excellent written and communication skills
