Organizations that appealed to me!
(1) NAEYC
(I chose this organization because it is a popular organization within the
field of early childhood education.) “NAEYC’s
mission is to serve and act on behalf of the needs, rights and well-being of
all young children with primary focus on the provision of educational and
developmental services and resources” (www.naeyc.org,
2013). There were several opportunities
at NAEYC, but one that struck me as interesting was the “Council for NAEYC Accreditation
of Programs for Young Children”. The responsibilities
are to approve policies, monitor and provide feedback on NAEYC operations,
oversee accreditation decisions, recommend to the governing board, and review
all proposed revisions to NAEYC accreditation criteria.
(2) UNICEF
(I chose this organization because of what they do for children and families in
many countries). I would be interested
in a “Child Protection” position with this company because I think that my
passion for helping children would be used greatly! According to the website this position would “play
a key role in the design, implementing and monitoring and evaluation of child
protection programs. Key areas include
child protection from violence, exploration and abuse, development and advocacy
for legal and social policy reform and strengthening national protection
mechanisms” (www.unicef.org).
