1. The
first organization that I chose is the National Association for the Education
of Young Children (NAEYC) which is a Washington, DC-based national membership
organization of close to 80,000 members, focused on improving the quality and
accessibility of early childhood education programs and services and on
enhancing the development of children and families (NAEYC website).
NAEYC
believes high-performing organizations are inclusive and continually seeks to
be enriched and strengthened by the wisdom of diversity.
One of
the jobs that appealed to me is an Accreditation Coordinator to support the
work of the Accreditation System by assisting program staff, NAEYC assessors
and other stakeholders in understanding and interpreting the standards, the
criteria and the system as a whole.
Responsibilities
include working with program administrators, assessors and decision makers
throughout all aspects of the accreditation process.
The
skills and experience necessary to competently fulfill this role include a BA
in Early Childhood Education/Child Development, 3-5 years experience in the
field of early childhood education and an understanding of its practices
is required. Experience with high quality programming and NAEYC accreditation
is a plus.
2. The
second organization that I chose is the Alliance for Children and Families. The Alliance is a membership
association that provides a variety of services to private nonprofit human service
organizations throughout the United States and Canada. Alliance members are
organizations dedicated to serving and advocating for children, families, older
adults, and communities. Their mission is to reduce the number of people living in
poverty, Increase
the number of people having opportunities to live safe, healthy lives, Increase the
number of people having opportunities for educational and employment success
(Alliance for Children &Families website).
They
have many marketing job opportunities.
3.
The third organization that I chose is the Voices for America’s Children
organization. Voices for America’s Children are the nation’s
largest network of multi-issue child advocacy organizations. They lead advocacy
efforts at the community, state and federal levels to improve the lives of all
children, especially those most vulnerable, and their families (Voices for
America’s Children Website).
The only job
posting that I found is an Executive Director who will play a significant role
in leading, supporting and guiding coalition work focused on improving public
policies affecting children and increasing federal investment in children and
youth from birth to young adulthood (Voices for America’s Children Website).
