Are you a Star Trek nerd? Love political science? Are you eclectic, intelligent, and a night owl? If so, we want you at Peacebuilding Solutions.
No, this isn't a personal ad surprisingly! Peacebuilding Solutions is a non-profit whose mission is to reshape and improve current practices in the fields of peacebuilding, humanitarian aid, and reconstruction of communities affected by conflict and natural disasters. And we are in GROWTH mode! To continue our growth, Peacebuilding Solutions' Executive Director is looking for an Executive Assistant to help achieve our mission.
We aren't entirely sure what the role would entail but most likely writing meeting minutes, herding cats... we mean coordinating team members to online meetings, and paperwork. Basically, if you like to get people organized so they can focus on the greater good, you're the person for this position. You're probably not the person for this position if you don't think critically, are a people pleaser, and impatient. Our Executive Director gets his own darn coffee though so no baristo/barista experience required!
Most work will be done online with some accomplished through video chat & phone calls. Local Metro Atlanta residents preferred but willing to consider other locations.

Mission Statement
Peacebuilding Solutions' mission is to reshape and improve current practices in the fields of peacebuilding, humanitarian aid and reconstruction of communities affected by conflict and natural disasters.
Description
Currently, PS has implemented a pilot project in Gressier, Haiti to address the needs of an IDP community displaced by the 2010 earthquake who had not received humanitarian aid since 2011. An initial research trip coordinated and conducted by the PS Research Department gathered information through key informant interviews, environmental scans, and group interviews so that PS could tailor the intervention based on the identified needs and desires of the community members. The results showed that the immediate needs included community access to water, sanitation, and shelter repair with economic opportunities and education as a more-long term goal for the community. PS created and implemented an initiative based on the data collected which included bringing water collection/filtration systems, providing agricultural tools for economic opportunities, and providing school supplies and shoes for the children of the community. Every part of aid given was decided on by the community members in collaboration with our organization.
