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.
