Website Developer - UNICEF Innovation Website

2009-11-11T17:02:25-05:00

PROJECT DESCRIPTION - Website Developer - UNICEF Innovation Website
UNICEF's innovation group is looking to build a small public website powered by an open source CMS.

Who We Are:
We are a small cross-division team in UNICEF that develops strategies and partnerships and investigates technologies that can improve UNICEF�s ability to do its work. Our job is to create systems and frameworks that allow for innovation produced at country levels to percolate upwards and sideways � we work to create spaces that encourage innovators. In 2010 there will be a merging of an existing innovation group focused on supply and one focused on communications.

Our Organization: UNICEF is on the ground in over 150 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.

Project Details:
We are looking to create a space for an outside audience of professionals (Private Sector, Academia, NGO�s and other UN Agencies) to be able to both learn and participate in innovative work that UNICEF is doing. Multiple divisions in UNICEF have started innovation teams or projects within the organization focused on a variety of products, partnerships, and strategies intended to help UNICEF in its core mission. This site should align these various efforts and provide a single place for work to be featured, and ideas or partnerships be solicited. The focus would be on encouraging participation around the �thinking� aspects of UNICEF�s work, as well as documentation of programmatic successes and failures.
The content approach and ideas will be combined with some additional sections from our intranet (which can be shown during face to face meetings) and expanded to address our wider mandate. Some of that information can be found here:

http://www.unicef.org/supply/index_50322.html

We want to align various organization wide efforts, making sure to give attention to small one off efforts as well as larger innovation projects. We want to be able to explain the work that is being done clearly and show the impacts that it has had on children�s lives. We want to be able to pose challenges UNICEF is facing to a wide public audience. We want to provide a way for individuals as well as organizations to share ideas for ways to improve UNICEF�s work (suggestions, discussion, design contests, academic courses, fellowship programs, contributions to our open source projects). UNICEF is looking to convene ideas and implementers around its core mission of improving mother and childhood development globally.

Overview of Audience:
The primary user base of the site would be professionals from the private sector, academia, or other NGO�s who are interested in what we do. Ideally they would have heard about the work (we present often and our work is frequently written about) we are doing and would be looking to learn more, suggest potential innovative solutions, or be looking for ways to partner.
Secondary users include:
1) An internal UNICEF audience (the primary site for this audience is our intranet)
2) Media and Journalists
3) A non-professional lay audience looking to learn generally about UNICEF�s work
4) Students who are interested in challenges.

Technological Components:

1) The website will be small but with some interactive parts.
2) The front end code must be semantic with a clean XHTML for the structure and CSS for the presentation.
3) The site needs to be powered by an easy to use open source CMS. (though not Drupal)
4) There will be a design/branding component.

Time Lines:

Proposals are due on Monday November 16th at 3pm EST.

Environmental Fellowship - Advocate for Environmental Policies (Manhattan)

2009-11-10T12:02:43-05:00

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES WITH ENVIRONMENT AMERICA

Take action to protect our environment. Work toward a greener America.

Environment America, a federation of state-based environmental groups, is a powerful advocate for the environment and our health. We speak out at the local, state, and national levels to improve the quality of our environment and our lives. We've built a grassroots network across the country that has helped win initiatives on a wide range of environmental issues.

For example, in 2007, Environment America played a key role in convincing Congress to make cars go farther on a gallon of gas for the first time since 1975. We also helped increase our use of renewable energy in more than two dozen states. Thanks to our work we�ll use 1.5 million fewer barrels of oil every year starting in 2020, while reducing global warming pollution dramatically.

We have protected pristine wilderness areas across the country including winning a campaign to protect the Grand Canyon from toxic mining waste. We helped clean up and protect countless waterways including the Great Lakes, which were threatened by oil company BP and other polluters. And, in 2008, we worked to elect a stronger pro-environment majority in Congress and a president who will take our country in a new direction.

Fellowship Program: Job Description
We�re hiring college graduates to help win campaigns with Environment America. Over the course of the two year program, you can have a real impact on critical environmental issues. Environment America Fellows work directly with some of the top environmental advocates and organizers in the country. And, our Fellowship Program gives recent college graduates the training and experience to take on leadership roles in the environmental movement for the long term.

Fellowship Program positions include:

Issue Associate: As an issue associate, you�ll develop expertise in a particular issue area and build the support it takes to make your voice heard and change public policy. Responsibilities include: researching and writing reports, developing and coordinating campaigns, preparing legislative testimony, building statewide and national coalitions, organizing media events, and meeting with elected officials.

Field Associate: As a field associate, you�ll build and mobilize support for environmental policies at the state and federal levels to ensure that decision-makers hear from, and pay attention to, the public. You will need to quickly master the basics of a variety of issues, and then spend the bulk of your time reaching out to individuals, media outlets, and organizations to build visibility and mobilize their support.

Issue and field associates may work on any of the following issues: stopping global warming, promoting clean energy, ensuring clean air and water, preserving our open space and more. In addition, associates canvass to raise money and build support for the organization and our campaigns, and run citizen outreach canvass offices during the summers. This enables each associate to play a critical role in building the resources and power we need to make a difference.

Qualifications
We are seeking college graduates who care about the environment and who are driven to protect it. We look for strong leadership skills, academic excellence, problem-solving ability, and top-notch written and verbal skills.

Change is in the air. Work with the Human Rights Campaign to repeal the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

� Relationship Building: The ED will be responsible for establishing and growing strong relationships with school principals and administrators and other potential partners in areas ranging from funding to program delivery to evaluation.
� Operations: The ED will be responsible for the overall management of the program and ensuring consistent, high quality delivery of Peace Games to our current New York schools and to pilot service delivery to new schools.
