I believe that working for a federal and national agency is great in accomplish many of the goals any agent of social change. One of the agencies that i chose is Us department of health and human services section of child welfare information getaway and their mission”Child Welfare Information Gateway promotes the safety, permanency, and well-being of children, youth, and families by connecting child welfare, adoption, and related professionals as well as the public to information, resources, and tools covering topics on child welfare, child abuse and neglect, out-of-home care, adoption, and more.” Additionally they provide access to electronic websites, electronic publications, websites, databases, and online learning tools for improving child welfare practice, including resources that can be shared with families. The agency offers a wide range of Job opportunities in the us department of health and human services such as administration for families and child each job opportunity has it own requirements but the cite offers a general job qualification which is applicable to me as i would be able to apply:
- reliability and dependability.
- ability to follow simple directions.
- ability to work safely.
- possession of some degree of dexterity.
- ability to do strenuous work
My second choice is our local Bergen county human services division of office of child as their mission is to provide children with affordable quality child care programs and professional development opportunities and technical assistance for the child care community which one of the important goal f early childhood deduction version.they also offer another program fro children called NJ kids grow which is designed to create universal standards of quality for all early care and education programs throughout New Jersey. Unfortunately there was no job opening available that was in my filed of interest but i believe that working for the child care office is a great opportunity to help families and children in having a quality affordable child care is a great experience.
The third choice is UNICEF they believe that All children have a right to survive, thrive and fulfill their potential to the benefit of a better world they work with children and adolescent understanding the globe concern fro children they work with governments, cooperates, the public sector , and they work from three office branches the head quarters where global policy on children is shaped. Specialized offices include the Supply Division, based in Copenhagen, which provides such essential items as the majority of life-saving vaccine doses for children in developing countries. The second the regional office it helps in guiding work and provide technical assistance to country offices as needed UNICEF’s work is fully part of other United Nations activities in a country. Third office is the national committee were these on-governmental organizations promote children’s rights, raise funds, sell UNICEF greeting cards and products, create key corporate and civil society partnerships, and provide other invaluable support. The committees raise a third of UNICEF’s resources.
UNICEF offers multiple job opportunities in different countries as a team members on job that interested me was a child protection officer (violence prevention) skills needed in researching, collecting, analyzing and presenting technical program information while learning organizational rules, regulations and procedures to support the development and formulation of the Child Protection Program within the Country Program, which might require from me to become families with these regulation and procedures other than that i most likely would be able to apply fro this position.
Another job opportunity is Social Policy and Finance officer for Children will address actions related to political advocacy and technical assistance with political actors and state officials nationwide and at sub-national levels (regional and local), as well as civil society organizations, to generate information and evidence about the public budget allocated to children and adolescents.

Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels
This assignment was very interesting fro me as i did not think of these organization as community of practice but as we go on with the course i see how they are exactly that i chose my local head start organization which is called the great Bergen community action head start as they are primarily interest din infants, toddlers, and child focused programs that involves families and local community to provide children with services that include their family. the job personalities that i was interested in the site were early child hood teacher position and a substitute position but unfortunate i could not apply as i am missing a qualification of CDC certification which i actually did not know about since an fairly new in the field of education and have no idea on how to proceed in my qualification as i am taking the alternative rout of education but i researched the certificate and i am hoping that i will be able to work towards getting it.
The second organization is a nation wide one it is UNICEF USA an organization that has multiple interest in the world that includes child care, education , and heath i enjoyed going through the different pages of the cite and ended to join for notification and a news letter as a future educator and i especially loved the teach UNICEF page as it provides teacher with different types of information on child development, and health. The job opportunities in UNICEF are vast but most of them do not correspond with my qualification as their require management or financial degrees on the other hand they offer great internship opportunities which is something i would most likely look in too.
My lats chose is Zero to three a great organization that is interested also about childrens well being and development very informative and provide many articles that help in early childhood education , the job opportunities offers are in other educational institutions but they all require me to be a certified teacher which i am not yet but hopefully after this MA program i will start to get ready to obtain the certification.I chose these three organizations because they also deal wit my capstone challenge which has to do with diversity and anti bias issues.
