WHAT YOU’LL DO: The TakingITGlobal Global Issues page is how we get our members informed about what is going on in their world. From deforestation in the Amazon to the history of Zaire, we want our members to be informed on the issues that affect them and their communities. As a Global Issue Coordinator, you will manage a small team of dedicated young volunteers tasked with maintaining and updating one of our nine Global Issue pages, and the sub-issues that are associated with it.
You will be responsible for:
* Writing a brief, comprehensive overview of the Global Issue
* Keeping the Statistics, Organizations, Videos and other resources up-to-date and relevant.
* Managing the Global Issue Team (reading reports, holding frequent meetings, and nominating your Team Members for various incentive programs).
* Attending Online Community Leaders meetings
* Submit a Six Month Plan for your team at the start of the Volunteer cycle.

* Have the ability to work on-line with little structure or supervision;
* Be able to manage a team of volunteers from around the globe through Internet communication;
* 4-8 hours per week to give to TakingITGlobal, and a reliable Internet connection.
WHAT YOU’LL GAIN: As a Global Issue Coordinator, you will gain the valuable experience of volunteer management. More than that, you will be able to show future employees that you have worked as a manager within an organization that is recognized as a leading innovator in social media and youth activism. You will walk away from this experience with:
* Online volunteer training tools, and access to volunteer workshops.
