Dear Friends,I hope that this email finds you well, and I apologize if I have recently been out of touch! Things have been incredibly busy at the China Education Initiative (CEI) as we've moved from start-up stage to full-on implementation, with our first corps of Fellows now having been teaching in their classrooms for nearly two months.We are currently hiring for a Recruitment & Public Relations Intern, who will work in close collaboration with our staff. This unpaid part-time / full-time position offers a unique opportunity to work at a highly successful start-up non-profit organization as part of a cross-cultural team of ambitious young professionals committed to creating an outstanding organization. CEI is a fast-paced, bilingual, cross-cultural environment.If you know people who are interested in the Chinese non-profit sector, international NGO work in China, and / or in rural development and education in China, please send them our way - this is a great opportunity for someone looking to get started in any of these fields / grow their network in Beijing / gain valuable exposure and experience.I'd also very much appreciate it if you could share the attached JD with your networks.Thanks so much!Best regards,Rachel
The China Education Initiative (CEI)
Established in 2008 under the auspices of the Ford Foundation, Princeton University, and Tsinghua University, CEI is an innovative non-profit organization taking a unique approach to eliminating educational inequity in China by enlisting the US and China's most promising future leaders in the effort. Through the institution of a US-China Teaching Fellows program, CEI meets the pressing need for exceptional teachers in China's understaffed low-income rural schools, while fostering a constituency of young leaders positioned to advance the cause of educational equity and effect long-term systemic change.
The China Education Initiative:
- Provides exceptional and enthusiastic teachers to schools in need. CEI recruits, trains, and supports outstanding graduates from premiere Chinese and US universities, assigning them as Teaching Fellows to one- and two-year posts in understaffed low-income schools;
- Works at the forefront of China-US relations as the first and only program to pair Chinese and American university graduates in a long-term service initiative;
- Promotes cross-cultural collaboration by partnering US and Chinese Teaching Fellows in four-person teams (2 US and 2 Chinese Fellows), and connecting their economically disadvantaged and often socially isolated students to a world outside – yet intimately linked to – their own communities;
- Fosters an internationally connected cohort of young leaders who understand firsthand the challenges facing students in low-income Chinese communities, and who share the insight and conviction to advance the cause of educational equity.
Global & National Partnerships - CEI works closely with a network of renowned US, Chinese, and international partners, and is:
- The only program in China collaborating with Teach For All's global network, a Teach For America affiliate;
- The first non-governmental accredited full-time teacher sourcing channel in China, as designated by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Education;
- Working in partnership with China's premiere teaching training and pedagogy research institution, Beijing Normal University, and with the Dartmouth College Teacher Education Program, to implement a comprehensive teacher training and support system;
- Operating under the strategic guidance of McKinsey & Company.
