Title: Editorial and Program Assistant
Responsible to: FSAFLEX Alumni Coordinator, ACTR/ACCELS Moscow
ACTR/ACCELS administers the USIA-sponsored Freedom Support Act
Future Leaders Exchange (FSAFLEX), a program for high school
students. Participants of the program live in American host
families and study in U.S. high schools for one academic year.
The FSAFLEX Alumni Office works with these students when they
return to their home countries. As the program is in its fifth
year, over 5,000 alumni have returned to the NIS. The alumni
office is looking for assistance in supporting this dynamic
program.
Job Summary:
An assistant is needed to help edit the monthly reports to USIA
about alumni activities and successes; to help edit the alumni
newsletter The Bradley Herald; to maintain correspondence with
21 ACTR/ACCELS field offices; and to assist in planning and
implementing activities for the alumni in Moscow. The position
offers a chance to improve writing and editing skills, to learn
various computer programs, and to work with energetic young
people from all over the NIS. Travel is not required, but may
occasionally be an option for a volunteer who is interested.
While Russian language knowledge is not required, it is helpful,
and the alumni office is a great place brush up on
conversational skills.
We are looking for a native English speaker with strong writing
and editing skills and the ability to work independently.
Previous experience working with high school and/or college
students is desirable. The intern must be based in Moscow.
While preference will be given to an intern who can make a
commitment for one year, we will also consider candidates who
will be in Moscow for an entire semester. Our
office hours are 9:30-6:00, Monday-Friday; and the intern's
time can be scheduled flexibly within that time period for a
total of 14-18 hours per week.
The compensation for this position is US $150 per month. If
the intern is a student who can receive credit for work in
Moscow, we will be happy to fill out any necessary documents.
We promise a job with real responsibility, a chance to improve
Russian skills and work with great young Russians, and a
well-written letter of recommendation for an intern who works
hard.
