Social Vibe

I just signed up for an interesting new social network called Social Vibe. If you scroll down a bit you will see a badge with Apples logo as well as who it benefits, Invisible Children. It works where sponsors, like Apple, pay a fee to have there logo put on your blog or social network and the money goes to the charity or cause that you choose (there is a whole list of them). So by signing up and putting the badge on one or all of your social media hangouts you earn points that support your cause. Periodically whatever money has been made is split according to how many points each cause has earned. It is an interesting new service and I thought it was worth a try. If Invisible Children earns a few extra dollars because of a badge I put on my blog, then why not? If you are interested in checking it out further I encourage you to do so.

Job Posting - Executive Director of Million Dollar Youth

I wanted to share an excellent opportunity that has recently become available. After some organizational shuffling the Executive Director position for Million Dollar Youth, an organization I worked with this past year, has become available. For those of you who might be interested please read on. This is the call for resumes by Jeremie, the founder and former ED.

To Whom It May Concern:

Million Dollar Youth, a non-profit education and fundraising organization run by youth, for youth, is looking for a dynamic, passionate and dedicated Executive Director.

Founded in 2006, Million Dollar Youth (MDY) was born after its founder returned from a life-changing service mission to Peru. From facilitating skills workshops to providing hands-on experience in developing and implementing creative fundraising initiatives and awareness campaigns, Million Dollar Youth provides young people with the foundation necessary to create positive social change and make a sustainable contribution to the world.

By joining the Million Dollar Youth team you will have the opportunity to work with some of Canada’s most influential youth and professionals. MDY is fortunate to have a number of prominent names on their Board of Advisors, including the founder of Free the Children and a United Nations Goodwill Youth Ambassador for Canada. The National Steering Committee is comprised of dynamic, well-connected and dedicated young people, and a very talented marketing and promotions team is already in place. The founder of the organization also remains involved in an advisory capacity.

Upon hiring an Executive Director, MDY will pursue opportunities currently available to the organization, including working with Juno-nominated artist (and MDY spokesperson) Justin Nozuka, as well as forming exciting partnerships that will allow MDY to grow in the months and years to come.

Million Dollar Youth prides itself on being open to hearing and considering all ideas from volunteers. As the organization is still young, the new Executive Director will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to make the organization their own. The successful applicant will have the chance to work with the National Steering Committee, Board of Directors and Founder to determine the best course to take for the future of the organization.

The Executive Director position is currently a volunteer position, with the potential for it to develop into a full-time paid position in the future.

If you are interested in applying for the position of Executive Director of Million Dollar Youth, please visit the MDY website at www.milliondollaryouth.ca, fill out an application form and send the form, with your resume, to Jeremie@milliondollaryouth.ca
