The first organization I choose was Save the Children. One reason is the television ads I see on the
weekends. Are they really as good as they say when I listen to them? Yes they
are with some big corporate sponsor backing them up such as: IKEA, Pepsi and American
Girl. They have some job openings the key to finding them is selecting the
right categories from their drop down menu on their job tab. I was able to find one this way. Child Protection Services it is not what we
think of when you hear child protection.
This person is helping put together a CPS system in Haiti, with a BA in
Social Work and 8 years experience in the field or related experience. Knowing
French or Creole is a plus.
My next was fhi360 this organization works at empowering the
citizen and families to become the best they can be. They do this through
hands-on work based on evidence based knowledge. To me this means they take what has been done
by others that are working and apply it to what they need in the town or
country they are working in. I noticed
that many of the jobs in the United State are behind the scenes or training
those that are going to the different countries that are in need of aid.
My final organization is UNICEF we know them from other classes that we have taken so
I decide to see what else they are working on. Currently they are working
HIV/AIDS prevention and educating girls in countries that look at women as
second class citizens. Again IKEA is a major donor as well as H&M and
Pampers. I choose to look at short term jobs with many of them being out of the
United States. The one piece I found interesting is that to be consider for
higher paying jobs you have to relinquish your citizenship if it is
different than you nationality.
I think that if I was twenty years younger I would consider
a job that is offered by any of these organizations. I knew that you needed
some of the education background for them but I also see that they need hands
on help in implementing their programs and it also would have given me the
chance to enhance my language skills.
