Description:
GlobalVote (www.theglobalvote.org), a project of the 501(c)(3) organization Globalhood, Inc. is an Internet-based voting platform that engages people worldwide to discuss and vote on the world’s most pressing issues. GlobalVote aims to influence the international decision making process by disseminating online polling results to International Organizations, universities, the media, non-governmental organizations and national governments.
GlobalVote is seeking a part time volunteer to maintain partnerships and relationships that we have developed with like-minded NGO's and University professors and to find and establish new relationships.
Summary of Specific Tasks
- Sending out mass emails after each new resolution has been posted
- Establish and maintain relationships with political science and International relations faculty / professors
- Contact Universities and professors to promote our GlobalVote book and to ask for cooperation with GlobalVote
- Develop a similar list with like-minded NGOs / organizations which are promoting a fairer Global Decision Making system
Summary of General Tasks
- Actively search for new members, send at least 40 emails to potential members weekly
- Participate in online social marketing, forums on social networking sites, etc.
- Send a summary of comments / suggestions for improvement about the website to the managers and report weekly to the coordinator all progress made during the week on activities and your plan for the next week (very informal, email will do)
- Attend NGO events in NY for learning and networking purposes during internship as appropriate (such as DEMOS, Carnegie Council, etc…)
- Assist in other areas if temporary assistance is required
Requirements:
- 24 hours a week on the GV project and a minimum 2 days in the GlobalVote office, the other 8 hours flexible working from home.
- Report to the office by 9:00 am and work for 8 hours if in the office.
- Sign in to Skype or Gmail so that GlobalVote members can stay in contact through the internet with you throughout the day.
- Report weekly to the coordinator with the progress you've made and your plans for the coming week.
A successful candidate will have some knowledge of the fields of international relations and/or international politics and have a commitment to "making the world a better place."
Preference will be given to those applicants who have experience in media outreach, as well as to those who have a second language proficiency in one of the official United Nations languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish. However, the absence of these requisites should not discourage potential applicants.
The position has a September start date and a winter (December or January) end date, but because this is a volunteer opportunity, we would welcome a further commitment beyond this period.
How to Apply:
If you are interested in this assignment, please send us your resume and in your cover letter include a brief discussion of the following:
- Your relevant experience and education
- Your plan of action- changes or ideas you have about how to help our initiative move forward
- Your opinion about the current website: www.theglobalvote.org – what do you like?
