Communications Intern Career Opportunity - Be the Change - Kenya (BTCKE)
Job Position: Communications Intern
Job Start Date: 01 March 2012
Commitment Required: 3 Months
Compensation: 800 KES/Week for Transportation and Phone
Hours: 3 four-hour segments of work/week to be scheduled between the hours of 11am and 7pm on Tue/Wed/Fri/Sun.
Organizational Summary
Be the Change - Kenya (BTCKE) exits to reduce the number of children living in poverty through building the capacity of local leaders and local institutions.
Our strategy permeates multiple levels of the local community. We develop the capacity of local organizations by forming two-year partnerships with local organizations that provide direct aid to children living in poverty. Partners participate in a multi faceted management-training program that includes a collaborative management-training program, executive mentorship and access to a network of pro-bono advising services.
We understand that individual organizations alone cannot change a community; therefore we enlist young adult leaders to advocate for local support of our partner organizations. Young adults are trained in Leadership and Organizing Material developed by a network of resources including the Harvard University Faculty, School of Servant Leadership, Episcopal Service Corp and more. Young adult graduates from BTCKE’s form teams that recruit donors, volunteers, resources, corporate sponsorship, clinical services and more for our Partner Organizations.
Our training programs not only develop capacity, they awaken directors, young adults and members of the local community to a renewed sense of power and agency. Furthermore, BTCKE bridges a formally divided community to create a cohort of partners working together for long-term change. Sustainable long-term change must include the support of the Kenyan Government. BTCKE intends for this body of leaders, created through our programming, to become active advocates and proponents of policy reform that supports children living in poverty.
In all our endeavors we maintain our core ideals: interdependent community, sustainable and scalable impact, human capacity and holistic well-being.
Job Summary
BTCKE’s third value, shared responsibility inherently demands the development of relationships with all our partners and donors. The BTCKE Communications Intern will work to keep our international donors updated on the progress of our work through our media communication outlets. This includes managing the overall strategy of our various media systems (their independent/collective purpose) and reporting their success to BTCKE Staff.
