Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

I have chosen three organizations that I believe will change the lives of all young children.

United Nations, Children Funds (UNICEF) is an organization that fights for the well-being of young children and those that are in emergency crises. This organization is an advocate for all young children and believes in giving all individuals the opportunity to succeed with fair and just. This organization puts young children first and protects them from many situations that may come upon them. Young children are encouraged and supported in their development as well as disabilities, diseases, disasters, and how to overcome obstacles in their lives (UNICEF, 2011). If I can work with an organization that is funding young children in an emergency situation, it would be an honor for me. Supporting and engaging in a funding organization can help me to support children from diseases. In order to work with this organization, I would need a Master’s degree.

The Second organization is Save the Children. Young children worldwide deserve an opportunity to grow and develop in a safe learning environment. In any given situation, a child’s needs should always come first. SC is a group of people who are committed to helping children to strive in life. In the US, SC is an advocate for supporting young children with learning skills that they need in order to be successful early in life. This job will give me the chance to help young children in every domain. There is a position open for an Early Head Start teacher with an AA degree or higher.

The third organization is the Technical Assistance Coordinators for The Early Childhood Community of Practice-Connecting Circles of Care. These professionals and group members’ support and help with funding, implementing, developing, and designing the communities with a system that cares. They communicate and collaborate on conference calls with communities and other groups across the system of care to share concerns and to encourage problem solving (Keenan, 2014). The requirement for this job is a Bachelor degree in the field of social services.
