    Description

    Reports to:
    VP of Global Philanthropy and Marketing

    About Children International

    Children International is a nonprofit humanitarian organization working to eradicate poverty around the world. At CI, we believe that ending poverty starts with children. Without help, children in poverty become adults in poverty.

    Our vision is to bring people together to put an end to that through programs focused on health, education, empowerment through life skills and, ultimately, employment.

    Ours is a unique, long-term, customized approach that allows us to stay with our children for the first two decades of their lives.

    We're in it for the long haul because we know that the 220,000 children we support in 10 countries around the world deserve a fighting chance.

    Children International's work is made possible by generous and caring sponsors, donors, corporations, more than 4,000 dedicated volunteers and approximately 1,200 employees.

    To ensure our programs give children the best possible chance of breaking the poverty cycle, we are elevating our practices for growing our people talent worldwide.

    That's where you come in.
