1.) The
National Bullying Prevention Center
I
chose this National organization because it has a lot of excellent information
and resources on their website. It offers videos, stories, news, and websites
for children/parents, and it also has a petition. There is a link on the
website that offers a list of Community events as well. They even offer run,
walk, and roll events across the county. It’s a wonderful website that helps
bring people together within communities and make something negative into something
positive.
The
National Bullying Prevention Center has many job opportunities available. Some
jobs that are being offered that interest me are: ICAN- which is motivational
speaking, blue shirt day and unity day. I’d also be interested in being a part of
the Youth Crisis line and the Committee for Children.
The
skills and experience I would need to competently fulfill each of the roles
above would be to have experience working with people, being a good communicator,
having a positive outlook on life/experiences, and have interpersonal skills.
2.) Stomp
Out Bullying- A National Anti-Bullying and Cyber Bullying Organizations for
Kids and Teens
I
chose this National organization because it’s popular, has very informative
information and plenty of resources for parents/teachers/children regarding
bullying. My favorite thing about this website is that it offers a link titled
“Ways to Help” and it shows pictures of actors/actresses stomping out bullying
by them being a part of the organization which is wonderful and inspirational
to see. This website offers a helpline for children/teens that need it. “Stomp
Out Bullying works to reduce and prevent bullying, cyber bullying, and other
forms of abuse in schools and online communities across the country.” (McGowan,
2013)
The
National Anti-Bullying and Cyber Bullying Organization did not list any job
opportunities on their website but there are a few jobs I’d love to be a part
of. I would love to be a part of the teen/youth line to give advice to the
youth on bullying and to make a difference.
The
skills and experience I would need to competently fulfill each of the roles
above would be great communication skills, getting along with others, being
educated on the topic of bullying, and be willing to speak to children about
their personal feelings, thoughts, ideas, etc.
3.) Stars:
Nashville: Students Taking a Right Stand: “STARS exists to serve schools and
communities by providing prevention, intervention and treatment services
addressing bullying, substance abuse, violence and social and emotional
barriers to success.” (Helix, 2013) This seems like a great organization that
has such a wonderful and inspiring purpose. I like the organization helps with
many other things and is not limited to just bullying.
On the website they do offer a link
to apply for employment. The positions available depend on each state. I
clicked on “Corporate Office” positions and there were none available. It didn’t
seem like they had many positions open even though they offered that link on
the website to apply for a job.
If any job opportunities were
available, the skills and experience I would need to competently fulfill each
of the roles would be to: Have experience working with people, must have great
communication skills, be educated on the topics they serve in and be willing to
make a difference in the lives of others.
