Jobs/ Roles in the ECH Community: National/Federal Level

                               
 
 
At least three nation/federal Organizations or Communities of practical that appealed to you and why you chose them
The National Red Cross Organization-was founded in May 21, 81 by Clara Barton she was the first president of the organization in Washington, DC. Clara Barton held the first meeting in the home of Senator   Omar D. Conger (R, MI). In the first meeting there were only 13 people including Barton, Conger and Republican William Lawrence (R, RC. Responds to more than 70,000 disasters, house or apartment fires, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hazardous materials spills, transportation accidents, explosions, and other national and local man- made disasters.
I chose this challenge because it is a non-profit organization and they help people who are in need. They help all people not just a certain race, color but all people and that is love.
         
Feed the Children Organization- was founded in 1979 it is operated and run by a nonprofit organization; by christen valves, whose stated mission is “Providing hope and resources to those without life’s essentials.” In 2011, Feed the Children distributed more than 104 million pounds of food and other essentials to children and their families in all 50 states and internationally. Feed the Children has worked around the globe in its 33 years history. On March 1, 2013 the move will reach 21 countries Feed the Children is the 25th largest charity in the United States. It headquarter is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I chose Feed the Children because I support this nonprofit organization and I am a Christian and this is what Christian do help the needy and them who are in need.
The United Way Organization - is a nonprofit organization which works with more than 1,200 local. The United Way Offices located throughout the countries in a coalition of the charitable organization. To help with fundraising and support. The focus of the United States is identifying and resolving pressing community issues, as well as making measurable changes in the communities through partnerships with schools, government agencies, business, organizing labor, financial institutions, development corporations, volunteers and neighborhood associations, the faith community, and others. The issues the United Way focus on are determined locally because of the diversity of the communities served. The United Way main focus area is education, income, and health.
The reason way I chose the United Way is they support the communities locally, regionally, and nationally. They are doing what each and every one of Christian people need to be doing. Seeing their brothers and sister in need and doing something about it. I salute all of these organizations who are supporting their communities and showing love for each individuals. I pray for these people  and keep them in my spirit.
Job opportunities (current available or not) that interest you
Mississippi County Head Start has an opening for an area Center Director. The interest I have in this job I've the opportunity to travel from center to center. This will give me an opportunity to travel out of town and mostly I will get to meet different diverse of families and people.
Skills and experience you would need to competently fulfill each of these roles
The skills I will need to operate as the position of the Center Director I would need a least an associate‘s degree or a bachelor’s degree in the field of early childhood education.

I must have the experience in working with low- income families. Know how to run an anti-bias center; to know how to be an assistance and work as a team. Be ready to give feedback when needed; making such that the total domains are in each classroom. Is in operation social/emotion, physical, language, and cognitive development. The most important thing is to know that it is all about the children and knowing how to apply the” Platinum Rule” “Treat everyone like you wants to be treated.”

  1. I think you did a great job on finding national jobs. I have heard of all those organizations, but i would have never thought of them for this assignment. I guess you learn something new everyday. I think the organizations you picked are very honorable, because they focus on lower income children and families. Working in the field of early childhood education opens the world to many different angles and opportunities. An educators work is never done and the possibilities are endless.

  2. Cedar,

    I enjoyed how your blog highlighted some of the "less than thought of" national organizations. I am one to typically jump into finding an organization with the word "education" written right into it; however, these organizations are just as great! The United Way Organization within my area actually has funding and partnering opportunities available for local businesses. I remember research this organization as an additional avenue to seek funding for my anticipated early learning program. Thanks for bringing attention to these!
