Tamieka,
ReplyDeleteThe International Step by Step organization focuses on children and their families. They empower the community to raise their children with quality education. I will like to join and be part of this organization because of the good work they do for people in their community.
Tamieka,
ReplyDeleteThe Education Programme Coordinator sounds like a very interesting job. I especially liked the fact they said that would like a person with good fun raiser skills. I think this type of person will bring a lot of great money making ideas to the organization.

Hi Tamieka,
ReplyDeleteI also looked into Step by Step, I really liked this organization and they shared a lot of the same views as me. I had a hard time finding jobs on their website, but I still used the organization because I could relate to it, so I discussed their membership options on my blog. Just out of Curiosity where did you find the jobs posted?
Thank you
Anna
