Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally


One international organization that I would love to get involved with is Save the Children.  They have been around since 1919 and are still striving to accomplish the goal of saving the children.  They start with children at birth and work with them to ensure that they stay strong and healthy.  It allows children of all ages to get the fighting chance that they may not have otherwise received.  Although they do not currently have any opening, I found one that interested me a great deal.  The organization has a position called International Field-Based.  Individuals involved recruits a limited number of qualified individuals to support field-based programs in a variety of International locations. In addition Save the Children International and 30 national Save the Children organizations around the world also recruit for positions overseas.  The skills and experience needed in order to fulfill this position would be the desire to help the children all over the world.  It doesn’t matter where you live, there are always children who need help.

Another international organization that I would like to get involved with is UNICEF.  They are an organization that most people are familiar with, usually around Halloween.  Their ultimate goal is to help children overcome obstacles and help them survive.  They offer ways for the children to receive protection and social inclusion as well as an education.  A position that they offer that interests me would be the good will ambassador.  I would like the opportunity to talk with people from all over the world and fill them in on the struggles that the children in the United States are currently having.  Every country has their share of problems, but together we could find a way to fix it.  The skills needed for this experience would be a good people person who wants to help children all over the world.  They must have the desire to want to help keep children safe as well as get them an education.

The final international organization that I would like to get involved with is the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).  They research and find ways in which to help improve the quality of life for people whether it be through taxes or social security.  This organization would help the working middle class and help find ways to make life easier for them.  Although I did not see it offered, I would like to work in researching the different economics around the world.  It may be interesting to see what countries are succeeding and what they are doing to make it work.

  1. Wow! Save the Children is a great organization and I love that they stand for all children everywhere. The job you mentioned does sound very interesting. It would be challenging, dangerous and rewarding at the same time. Think of all the children you would come into contact with and the influence you could have on families around the world. You have found some great organizations. I will definitely be passing this information along. Thanks!
