Three International Organizations


Three Organization That Appealed to Me and Why I Chose Them
 
The organization listed below are organizations that I have looked up in other courses in the past.  I was interested in theses organization and thought it would be great for me to go back and see how they have changed and developed throughout the years. 
 
1. UNESCO’s, “Early Childhood Care and Education" website: UNESCO’s is an organization that focuses of the importance of children’s education and their development across the world. Child advocates from across the world work with each other to implement ideas and come up with ways to improve areas in the early childhood program.  There were short term Opportunities for jobs on this particular organization.  It was noted that the organization has permanent staff and that the organization does hire   temporary services (Appointments of Limited Duration and Consultancies )to enable the sector to deal with a short-term overload of work or to bring in outside expertise as needed.
2. Harlem Children’s Zone’s website
 
The program works with children and families in the critically first years of life. The early childhood programs provide their services free to the public, which is possible because people donate money to the organization. HCZ has been around since 1970's and has offered education, social-service and community-building programs.  Job opportunities that are available are
 
The Baby College, which teaches best-practice parenting to parents of children from 0-3 years old.
 
 HCZ runs Birth to Pre-Kindergarten programs to get children on track early. Children then attend one of two HCZ Promise Academy K-12 charter schools or are supported by HCZ staff in the seven public schools in the Zone.
 
HCZ also runs innovative middle and high-school after school programs for local public school students.
 
HCZ's College Success Office supports HCZ's students - many of whom are the first in their families to attend college - so that they can successfully navigate the new challenges and responsibilities they face.
 
Harlem Children's Zone, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
