<![CDATA[Healthy Relationships Breakout Worldwide You might be thinking, ‘healthy relationships breakout world wide’? Could there be some truth to this? Read on. I'm a relationship coach who works with a unique approach to the challenges of relationships. For the last two years I’ve taught my work at high school in Manhattan. From that has come a copyrighted curriculum called Healthy Relationships 101; and the viewpoint was born, Relationship Ed before Sex Ed. The program has generated an extraordinary response both from schools and the general public. There is a universal desire for this work to become a part of our learning. Sex-Ed alone certainly cannot stand on its own to educate us to be more whole beings: We spend at least 12 years in school preparing for a career. How much time do we spend preparing for a relationship? I have just finished my second year of teaching at a New York City high school, and we are being meeting with more schools. Much is needed to meet the demand. We need a director of operations, executive assistant, a take charge dedicated person who, bottom line wants to contribute to the well being of others. If this is you then please keep reading. We have a particular need for support with the internet, social media, some basic web skills, blogging etc., in order in crease visibility and bring in revenue. Photoshop is a plus. This is an opportunity not only to make a contribution, but to learn a skill as we have a growing need for facilitators. We are a start up and, at this time are applying for funding. However, there is so much potential from multiple streams of income that a compensation agreement will be worked out before you begin. For now we only have $10 an hour and it has to be deferred for at least two weeks, maybe longer. If this will cause a hardship for you right now then please be honest about that. Let’s not waste anyone’s time. You can send a response and a resume for the future but for now I can only speak with someone who is ready to jump into action and that person should send a resume and response to the ad and something catchy in the subject line so I know you’re actually read the ad. And you are the self starter's self starter. The director of operations will help direct the foundation. I need a co-director. The job entails organizing the multiple projects as the program expands. Top priorities are curriculum development, outreach to schools, funding research, and various other administrative duties. As contracts are received, we are also looking to add instructors. Most of what I teach is common sense; relationships don’t have to be so difficult. you will be amazing, just ask the people on the staff. I'm not a guru, I still struggle myself but at least I'm aware of it. And awareness is the starting point of change. The office is spacious, clean and gets good light. Dress is casual and the atmosphere is relaxed even though this ad is quite complex. There's a working kitchen as well. This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to become part of an emerging project that is meaningful and rewarding. If this inspires you please respond, if not, thank you for taking time to read this ad. If you are still interested, to get a better sense what we are doing, look at our website, www.therelationshipfoundation.org. There is a short video there. We have a more current video that needs editing. Our goal is not only to bring our program into the educational process, but also to change the culture. We want to make healthy relationships a household conversation. This work brings relationships out of the realm of the mysterious and unspoken into an arena of honest discussion and learning. Again, please look at our web site before you respond: www.therelationshipfoundation.org. Imagine what life might have been like if there had been this subject when we were in school. Thanks!

<![CDATA[Hi there. So here we go... Who We Are: The name of our nonprofit organization is Third Millennium Alliance. It was founded by an Ecuadorian woman and two American guys, with dual backgrounds in economics and ecology, with the objective to create a new model of development in the tropics that is sustainable. We own and manage a 500-acre ecological reserve in one of the last remnants of rainforest and cloud forest in coastal Ecuador, where we manage a permaculture demonstration site and a biological research station. We are trying to build a conservation corridor along a 60-km stretch of mountains in coastal Ecuador. This also includes a project to reforest 1,000 hectares of abandoned cattle pasture through community agroforestry. We can’t do ANY of these things without sufficient funds. That’s where you come in. Dollar A Day Campaign: We are launching a national fundraising campaign which asks people to contribute $1/day for rainforest conservation and reforestation. (Donors can sign up for a monthly membership of $30 or a one-time annual donation of $360). The problem is, that we live and work on-site in the middle of the rainforest in Ecuador, and don’t have the time nor ability to wage a serious fundraising campaign in the US. This is what you will do. We will equip you with all the media and resources you need, both electronic and hardcopy – which includes brochures, project profiles, and even a documentary film about our project which we are releasing in September. You will get your own organization email address. You will be a member of our team, and at some point – if this goes well – you will come down and visit the project in Ecuador. Your job is to get this $1/day campaign out in front of as many people as you can. This can be through email campaigns, word-of-mouth, events, street canvassing – whichever method(s) you feel are most effective. If you are a savvy on the online social networking media, like Facebook, that is certainly another method that we would like to get involved in. There is no base pay. You will earn 25% of all donations that you bring in. Which means, if you can get just 1 person to sign up each day, you earn $90 every single day (that’s 25% of $360). If you average 2 sign-ups per day, you earn $180 per day. If you average 0 sign-ups per day, you earn $0 per day. Qualifications: We need someone who presents well and who communicates well – i.e., an engaging person and a smooth talker. But, none of that will mean anything if you don’t believe in this project in particular, and in ecological conservation and sustainable development in general. If you have a background in ecology, great. But it is not necessary. If you have a background in communications, also great, but again not necessary. What is most necessary is that you are persuasive, creative, persistent, and passionate. Work Schedule: There is no physical office. You can work from home or wherever. You choose your own hours – although there are a few guidelines which we can recommend. You will have a good amount of autonomy. This is the first time we are launching a national campaign and we have never worked with a “fundraising coordinator” like this. Which brings us to two more qualities: you will also need to be a self-starter and very adaptable. If one approach doesn’t work, develop a new one, and keep trying until you catch your stride. We will give you an orientation, we will support you as much as we can, we will be in weekly communication with you. But most of the time you will be working independently. Long-term Potential: You can do this part-time or full-time, depending on your schedule and how much money you are trying to make. In addition to the usual 25%, we will also discuss with you some sort of bonus package if you hit certain performance marks. If this goes REALLY well, we may ask you to set up an official fundraising office under your leadership – that would not happen until 2011, if at all. But if it did, then some kind of stable salary would be in order. Application: To apply for this position, send an email to the “reply to” email address with the subject “FUNDRAISING POSITION – NEW YORK.” If you have a resume, send it over. But if you don’t, don’t worry about it. Instead, just send us an email telling us (informally) about your background, your experience, and why you are interested in doing this. Please be sure to first familiarize yourself with our organization by taking a look at our website at www.3malliance.org. It is important to know WHO you are promoting, and it is important to really believe in that cause – otherwise this is no different than selling insurance over the phone, which neither we nor you would want. This is an opportunity to help a small grassroots organization explode into the upper echelon of conservation organizations, so that we can a global impact, not just a local or regional impact. That is our ambition – to go global. We need someone to help us get there. Please apply to this position before Sunday night of September 5th, so that we can schedule an interview - one of us will be in town for a few days next week to screen a film documentary about the project.

<![CDATA[Volunteer Position Description UNICEF Tap Project City Coordinator U.S. Fund for UNICEF Clean and plentiful drinking water is a daily privilege, millions take for granted.

As the world’s leading children’s organization, saving more lives than any other humanitarian organization, UNICEF understands the critical role water plays in a child’s survival. To raise awareness about this critical issue, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF (USF) launched the UNICEF Tap Project, a nationwide effort in which diners are asked to donate $1 for the tap water they usually enjoy for free ($1 can provide one child with safe drinking water for 40 days).
