Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

Association for Childhood Education International
“The mission of the ACEI’s  is to promote and support in the global community the optimal education, development, and well-being of children, from birth through early adolescence, and to influence the professional growth of educators and the efforts of others who are committed to the needs of children in a changing society” (Association for Childhood Education International, 2011). 
I chose this organization because it gives children all over the world to have a quality and prosper education.  The education that will be provided will prepare children for the real world and to be independent.  ACEI promotes education with dignity and respect and values one’s human rights.  They speak out for education in children so they may achieve social justice, equity, and peace.
There were no jobs listed for ACEI.  One may become a member of the organization by paying a membership fee starting from $30 to $322.  There are no specific skills needed to become a member.
OMEP – USA
OMEP is an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization with members in over seventy countries (OMEP – USA, 2011).  The organizations goal is “to ensure the well-being of the children over the world, rights, and education of children from birth to the age of eight and their families” (OMEP – USA, 2011). I chose this organization because it they promote advocates who speak out over the world to help our young children to become successful in life.  The organization also provide workshops for teachers, parents and its’ members.  There were no jobs available but you can become a member to learn more and provide children with the support needed and speak out to help children all over the world.  To become a member you have to fill out and application and pay a membership fee costing $30.  A member will be entitled to newsletters each month and attend events that will help with hands-on activities and projects that will help children all over the world.  There are no specific skills needed to become a member.

National Black Child Development Institute


The NBCDI mission is to improve and advance the quality of life for Black children and their families through education and advocacy” (National Black Child Development Institute, 2013).  The organization is similar to the others because it focuses on the well-being of children.  The organization wants to make sure that young Black children ensure a successful future.   Over the past years the organization has helped children over the world and has helped those who are from low poverty and those who suffer from racial discrimination as well.
I chose the organization because as an African American it stood out and so many of our young black children are dropping out of school before they even reach the 9th grade.  The organization is one of the only national organizations dedicated exclusively to the success and well-being of Black children.  There were no jobs available but one can join by becoming a student member, regular member, or an independent member for less than $35.  The organization provide resources that will help teachers in the classroom, parents at home and make a positive impact on the lives of Black children and their families.  There are no specific skills needed to become a member.
