Do you enjoy details? Become our 'International shipping coordinator'
ORGANIZATION: Rebuilding Alliance
Please visit the new page to apply.
Are you a details person who is patient, persistent, polite, and a good writer? Do you enjoy art? Would you like to learn about shipping, and customs pre-clearance procedures?
This is a great volunteer opportunity for someone who loves logistics and is, or wants to become, a shipping agent.
Rebuilding Alliance recently launched a remarkable traveling interactive art exhibition called Gaza in Colors: Stories from Behind the Wall. It even opened at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, one of San Francisco's most prestigious art museums. This is a great way to help the artists tell their story.
As the project takes off, we are looking for a wonderful volunteer to help send art supplies to artists in the Gaza Strip, and possibly also export quality paper, paints, and colored pencils to art stores in Gaza. Gaza is under a near total blockade so everything in or out must be pre-cleared by Palestinian and Israeli Customs. Overall, we know how to do this because Rebuilding Alliance has been sending thousands of solar-powered lights to children in Gaza, but the pre-clearance process takes time, patience and persistence.
If you can spend at least two days per week, three hours per day at our office in Burlingame, please apply to become Rebuilding Alliance's International Shipping Coordinator. To apply, please reply to this email with your cover letter explaining why you are the right person for this assignment, your resume, and three references.

About Rebuilding Alliance

Mission Statement
Rebuilding Alliance is dedicated to advancing equal rights for the Palestinian people through education, advocacy, and support that assures Palestinian families the right to a home, schooling, economic security, safety, and a promising future.
Description
We learned early-on that to build in war-torn communities one must partner locally with non-governmental organizations that hold the trust of the local community and maintain the highest standards of fiscal and personal integrity.
Everyone who works at Rebuilding Alliance is committed to building peace and justice through programs that make a tangible difference and together, we do our best to make RA a great place to work. Many who have joined RA as interns or in entry-level jobs have gone on to their dream-job or pursued advanced degrees.
One of our past interns wrote the following:
"I always talk about interning with Rebuilding Alliance as one of my most important, challenging and formative work experiences, especially when I'm in interviews. You asked and expected big things of me right away, and I'm so grateful for that - coordinating a teleconference series, making phone calls to important peacekeepers, offering insights in team meetings, updating our internet presence. These are skills that I value so highly, and that I'm sure will be so important as I enter this industry that is entirely new to me. I would also like to stay in touch with you and Rebuilding Alliance and help in any way I can in the coming years, whether through donations or volunteering my time when I'm back in the Bay Area."
