At least three national/federal organizations or communities
of practice that appealed to you and why you chose them
Latoya’s blog: http://toyalil.blogspot.com/
1. Zero to three: I really like what the
zero to three organization is about which is , “is a national, nonprofit
organization that informs, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers,
and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers”(zerotothree.org).
I had the opportunity to go to my first conference last year and I enjoyed
everything that this organization is about which is supporting families of
children in early head start programs and from birth to three.
There are not any openings at this time that relates
to both my experience and degree’s. Only finance department and senior writing
specialist. Skills: N/A
2. Unicef: Helps support children from abuse and
violence. There early childhood program focus on, “Every child must be ensured
the best start in life – their future, and indeed the future of their
communities, nations and the whole world depends on it” (http://www.unicef.org/protection/index.html)
There are not any job opportunities available at
this time but if there were I would like to be a part of the Adolescent
Development and child protection. Skills: N/A, not sure because there is not a
posting.

The state of Georgia offers a lot of learning opportunities for children in the
state of Georgia. The state of Georgia wants to ensure that the school provides
an environment that is, “empowered to develop policies and programs that meet
the educational needs of their students, that support teachers and that involve
parents and communities in the education process” (http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/External-Affairs-and-Policy/State-Board-of-Education/Pages/default.aspx)
