National Black Child
Development Institute (NBCDI)
Reference: http://www.blackchilddevelopment.org/
The National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) was
founded in Greensboro, North Carolina, in1978. Since then, they have moved
across the country serving children, families, and communities through the
efforts to enrich and empower the lives of young children. Under the National
Black Child Development Institute is the Americorps Program. This program sends
their members to non-profit learning facilities in low-income neighborhoods as “helping
hands”.
I have a great amount of experience working alongside
Americorps volunteers. They are wonderful instruments in the learning environment.
As team workers, they engage with the teachers and children, assist with
classroom management, and perform daily routines as a coexisting member of the
teaching team. Becoming a member serves as a great opportunity to gain experience
and emerge as a leader in the field of early childhood care and education. This
organization connects with local partners to increase the quality of life of
children and families. Volunteering with this institute affords me the
opportunity to be the change that I want to see as an agent for social justice.
Strengthening children, families, and communities is a personal and
professional goal that has driven my educational endeavors.
The World
Organization for Early Childhood Education – United States National Committee
(OMEP-USNC)
The World Organization for Early Childhood Education –
United States National Committee (OMEP – USNC) is a member of an international
group of organizations that work globally to promote equity, social justice,
and advocate for high quality programs for children and families that support
health, development, and learning.
I would love to be a member of such an organization that
networks globally to foster the needs of children and families in underdeveloped,
poverty stricken parts of our nation. This organization serves as a platform
for educators, policy makers, families, and activists to discuss and develop solutions
to the issues and trends that diversely affect the well-being and education of
children. They also engage in several projects, activities, and research that make
early childhood care and education a priority and serve as activists by being
the children’s voice when it comes to ensuring that children have sustainable
opportunities for learning.
Although there are no job opportunities available, becoming
a member is just as important. As a member, I could support the organization
through monetary contributions, emerge as a leader and prominent voice in the
field of early childhood, and support the work of others through conferences,
elections, and volunteering globally.
Zero to Three: The
National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families
Zero to Three is a non-profit organization the targets
healthy growth and development of infants and toddlers. Their goal is to serve
as a resource on how to encourage and support flourishing maturation early on.
Senior Program Associate is a job opportunity currently available
within the Zero to Three Organization. Its primary job responsibility is to
provide technical assistance to Early Head Start Programs, professionals and educators,
and assist with planning, developing, and coordinating meetings, conferences,
and trainings.
I would find great pleasure in working for this
organization. Being able to provide information and resources to programs
ensuring high quality is my ideal career. I believe that having a learning
institute that operates correctly from the beginning is essential to children
and families, communities, and maintaining access to high quality programs.
Through this, we optimize the learning abilities of children early on, decrease
the achievement gap, and dispel inequities and social justices by proactively
nurturing their needs.
