UNICEF- This is a group that I have heard of numerous times since being a student here at Walden. This is an organization that helps disadvantaged children in different regions of the world such as Europe, Asia, Africa, Caribbean, just to name a few. UNICEF works to give disadvantaged children a fair chance. Some areas that they push for is for inclusion and protection of young children, as well as promoting gender equality among these young children. When looking under the job opportunity section, I learned that the team actually promotes internships. They also have a section on their job opportunity link for the role of Child Protection Specialist. The job is located in the Republic of Cameroon. Main responsibilities for this job include justice for children, civil registration, and policy development. A couple of tasks that this job requires includes; developing and preparing child protection projects and advocating with the government.  

Save the Children- This is an organization that I have never heard of. Through research, I have learned that their mission is to give children a healthy start when disaster strikes. Saving young lives is the main goal of this organization. Save the Children helps children by providing education, emergency response, health and nutrition, and disaster response when the unthinkable happens such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and fires. The organization has stations in the U.S., Africa, Asia, Latin America/Caribbean and Middle East/Eurasia. When searching for available jobs I was able to search under the U.S. Field Based positions. I searched under the D.C. Home Office and the C.T. Fairfield for Education/Literacy/Child Development.

International Step by Step Association- Aims for quality and equity for all children and families. The organization reaches those in Europe and Central Asia, holding over 60 members. Everyone involved with this community offers insight on best practices for early childhood education. A few goals are to advocate for early childhood systems for all children, increase awareness of early childhood education, and become a leading network for early childhood education. I was unable to find any job listing for this organization.
