Dream Corps - Volunteers
Dream Corps
This is an awesome opportunity to get involved with rural education in China. You get to work with some of the most passionate and motivated native Chinese students I have known and experience first-hand the life of and the problems faced by the majority of Chinese people who still live in villages scattered across the country. You will also shape the growth of a new NGO desperate to extend its reach in China. Above all, you will have a lot of fun and come back to the US with a memorable (or perhaps life-changing) China experience that NO study-abroad program can provide. You don't need to know Chinese to participate - all you need is a great heart to help these children who are much less fortunate than us. Feel free to email Danxie (Danxia_Xie@ksg06.harvard.edu) if you have further enquiries. Thanks!
Deadline for application is March 10. Information and application forms can be found at http://www.dreamcorps.org
Our Mission - To foster dreams in the young so that their lives are not held hostage to existing economic, educational, and digital divides.
Our Action - We organize volunteer activities in impoverished areas of China to promote education, community space, local initiative, and sustainable development. We also aim at enhancing social awareness and participation of overseas Chinese students, scholars and professionals through engaging them in such activities.
Our Origin - The Dream Corps is the brainchild of a group of Chinese students at Duke University who felt compelled to live up to their social responsibility. It was registered with the State of North Carolina in May 2004 and was granted 501(c)(3), i. e., non-profit, status in November 2004. We received critical initial support from Duke Asian Pacific Studies Institute and UNC Department of Asian Studies.
Our Base - We are based in Durham, North Carolina but have representatives at Harvard, Indiana University at Bloomington, Peking University (Beijing), Princeton, Stanford, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and University of Toronto as well as in the D. C. and New York/New Jersey areas.

The Analyst position offers excellent career and growth opportunities for talented, highly motivated graduates. As professional members of our firm, Analysts work with experienced members of Mercer’s consulting team on client cases. Analysts take on a variety of responsibilities – from carrying out essential research and data collection to conducting complex quantitative, strategic, and financial analyses of corporations and businesses. As their skills develop, Analysts are increasingly involved in solving high-level business problems. Challenging, creative, and demanding, the work of an Analyst is a unique opportunity for those seeking high-quality exposure to diverse industries and businesses. To help meet the demands of the position with its on-the-job training, Mercer provides an environment designed to support both personal and professional growth. Specific elements of the program include a comprehensive formal training program, an advisor structure, mentoring programs, regular case performance feedback, and formal career reviews twice a year.

Exceptional Analysts chose to continue their growth at Mercer as Associates and Partners after completing their MBAs or through direct promotion from our Consultant position. Mercer is unique in the consulting industry in its promotion from within philosophy. We do not have an up and/or out policy on career development.

Harbor School - Teacher
My name is Chris Tsang and I'm a 7th and 8th Grade Humanities teacher at the Harbor School, a Boston Public Pilot School, and a spoken word poet too :)
My school is hiring for the fall and I'm really hoping to increase the pool of applicants of Asian American educators. Out of a school of 25-30 staff, there are only myself and another South Asian American educator.
Our primary demographics are Black (80%), but my hope is that my school will become the safe school for Vietnamese students in the area. Right now, there is only about a dozen Vietnamese American students. I also run an after school Asian Club for students to create a safe space to take pride in their ethnic identity and learn about their history and culture.
Please click on the link for the job postings: http://www.ccebos.org/index.html. And click on Job Openings.
Would you also please forward this onto friends in your circles who are educators? Thanks. Anyone can feel free to email me at cstsang98@hotmail.com with questions.
