Are you looking for a long-term volunteer
management opportunity? IHF is looking for hard-working, dedicated volunteers
to commit their time and talents for one year in one of our 4 education centers
in Indonesia. Your role will be to manage the day-to-day maintenance of the
center’s programs and initiatives alongside an international staff, in the
effort to provide a better opportunity for children’s futures. You are asked to
complete at least 4 hours a day of local work and 4 hours a day of international
work, 6 days a week. The job can be strenuous, but is incredibly rewarding and
you will leave IHF with new highly transferable skills, a better understanding
of international NGOs, and an unforgettable experience that will last the rest
of your life.
In Indonesia, we have four education centers in
Bali, Jakarta, Medan and Banda Aceh. Our Jakarta center provides a home to a
small number of children. All Indonesia centers hold English, Math, and
Computer classes for disadvantaged children aged 6-17 to supplement the limited
Indonesian public education system. Your role would include teaching and
supervising classes as well as organizing various activities at the center.
IHF is a grassroots, all-volunteer organization
with no central office, so co-Directors complete 4 hours of international work
daily that consists of various administrative tasks. All co-Directors manage
one or more of our international task teams, such as University Relations,
Fundraising, Teacher Training or Media. You will work closely with co-Directors
at other centers to manage these teams and will receive unique training in a
multi-level, multifaceted system. You
will be assigned your teams according to your experience and skills. This work
can be challenging, but you will hone your time management skills and learn
intimately how an NGO functions at both the ground and administrative levels.
Before arrival at the center, you will already become a part of the team by
completing pre-trip tasks with our international teams to gain an understanding
of the kind of work you will be doing.
Candidate
Qualifications: Fluency in both written and spoken
English is essential. We value volunteers who are creative and innovative,
willing to take responsibility and easily adapt to new conditions and
unexpected situations. We welcome applicants with any background, but prefer
degrees in social studies, language, education, medicine, law, and social work.
Experience traveling, working or volunteering abroad will be an asset. We
require candidates have 1-2 years working experience in any field. Experience
with teaching and/or children is crucial. Each IHF center is a product of its
environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its host country. So
must our staff. Our volunteers must have high intercultural sensitivity and be
tolerant to different views and ways of life.
Stipend: Volunteers must commit to serve at least one year at the center. Basic
accommodation and food is provided by IHF. You are a volunteer at the center
and all local tasks completed are done so without pay. As a co-Director, you
will receive a small monthly stipend. This stipend results only from the
international online work. After one year there is the opportunity to become a
full Director. The stipend is broken down as follows:
First 3 months: Training period $20 per
month
3-6 months: Assistant co-Director $50 per
month
6-9 months: Co-Director $80 per month
9-12 months: Co-Director $100 per month
Strict
IHF Policy: These stipends are fixed. They will not be
raised for more experienced applicants, and everyone will be upgraded according
to the timeframes outlined above and no sooner. There are no exceptions to
this, regardless of what may be the situation in the center.
