There
are three local organizations that appeal to me that I would like to include as a part of my community of practice. They include: The United Way; The YMCA and
The Department of Social Services. I chose this organizations because of their
commitment to serving children and families. The United Way of South Hampton
Roads builds relationships, develops partnerships and helps focus energies
around our community's common goals. The Y makes strengthening families a
priority; families learn communication skills, life skills and family life
skills. And the Department of Social Services community Support Department is committed
to Childcare provider training and development and supports head start program
and oversees the infant and toddler network. I have a desire to get out there
and work in the community and these agencies do just that. They will be able to
help guide me and point me into the right direction.
As I began to search possible jobs in early childhood, there are a few opportunities that I will be interested in they include: A
Program Specialist in Early Childhood and Health at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU); Project Director for
Early Education Services for ICF international which serves the military community; and an International Licensing Inspector for
the Department of Social Services. Each position requires at least a Master’s
Degree, comprehensive knowledge of child development and must be able to work
in a diverse environment. And, must be
able to communicate well and must be able to multi-task. These are just a few
of the qualifications needed to successfully fulfill the job requirement.
