CLUSTER DIRECTOR
Posting Date February 22, 2008
PRESTIGIOUS SCHOLARHIP TEEN PROGRAM SEEKS CLUSTER DIRECTORS NATIONWIDE

PAX – Program of Academic Exchange seeks qualified Cluster Directors nationwide to work with its two federally funded programs: YES (Youth Exchange and Study) and FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange). YES awards full scholarships to a number of high school teens from countries with significant Muslim populations. This prestigious program is vital in today’s political climate as it seeks to break down the barriers and stereotypes between the U.S. and the Muslim world. FLEX is a leadership program that promotes democracy and human rights in the countries of the former Soviet Union and all its high school finalists are selected in an open, merit-based competition.

Both programs focus on four major themes to achieve its goals: Education, Exchanges, Engagement, and Empowerment. YES and FLEX scholars are selected out of thousands that apply for their leadership potential, personalities and academics and come from such countries as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brunei, Egypt, Georgia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Moldova, the Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Thailand and Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.

Cluster Directors represent the scholarship programs in their local communities and arrange host families and high school enrollments for 3 scholarship recipients per year. Cluster Directors earn commission per student; are invited to attend a training seminar in Washington DC and an annual 4-day national meeting (held each year at a different resort location, all expenses paid). PAX is particularly seeking RPCVs for Cluster Director Positions because of their strong cross-cultural skills and commitment to making the world a better place.

If you, or somebody you know, would enjoy this flexible, part-time work from home that combines a little compensation and travel with the chance to work with some of the most amazing and deserving teenagers from around the world, please contact Jonathan Andrew, Regional Director of Sponsored Programs, at jonathana@pax.org or call 1-800-555-6211, ext. 304 for more info. Please indicate that you are interested in YES or FLEX to be referred to the scholarship department.
