The first agency is the International Step by Step Association. As I was reading about this organization, some of the beliefs listed reminded me of what I am trying to do with my organization, such as empowering families with the help of the community and the parents. Help from everyone is required to be successful. They have four positions available, with duty in the Netherlands. The one that interested me the most was the REYN (Romani Early Years Network) Program Manager. This person networks within the community and the families to help Romani children. The skills needed is a degree in this field of study, as well as knowledge about the Romani culture and early childhood education national/international knowledge.
Another organization that caught my interest is Save the Children. This organization provides food, education and medial care where needed. Everything affecting a family to include poverty, illiteracy and illness are addressed because they realize that all these things are interrelated (Save the Children). They have 43 positions open right now. The one I chose was Manager, Global Finance. I have a finance background already, and meet the requirements for this position. The position entails accounting and budgeting activities for a specific country, as well as monitoring grant spending.
The last organization I chose is the Association for Childhood Education International. I have never heard of this organization and so decided to look into it. They have a lot of the same principles and beliefs of other early childhood organizations, except that they are looking for change through adolescence, which I think is great. If we just stop helping children when they reach 9 or 10 years old, without at least making sure they have the resources to continue in the right direction, then our work will be for nothing. I didn't find anything about open jobs, and the only information on internships was a POC to send your resume to.

Shannon, even though the Association for Childhood Educational International was a one I did not chose to obtain information on; it would be very interesting to learn something about the organization. Just from reading your post, it seem to have some reliable information that can be used to help us in our Cop. I will reference to their website, to learn about their services offered to children and families in the educational field. Great Post!
