How do I find a job post-grad in the political science sector ?
I just recently graduated from UCSB with a political science degree and I am very interested in international relations and community development, but I have no idea where to start, and it seems like the job market is scary. I would like to work for the government, but am considering going to law school as well. I have acquired relatively decent experience throughout undergrad: - I graduated with a 3.7 gpa from UCSB - I worked on a community development research project as a research assistant - I interned for a non profit organization in a position focused around community development and outreach - held a position in my sorority for a year Any tips/tricks/advice on how or where to look for a job?
How much of your job in community development involves research?
Do you feel that you need to really study the community you are working with in order to benefit them most? Do you find that reaching out to community members helps to understand the needs of the whole community most adequately, or do you research programs similar to ones you may be considering to implement in another community? #community-management #research #career #community #development #community-development #community-outreach #community-services

How can I inspire corporations to invest in community initiatives that will empower youth?
So many children are missing out on the growth opportunities and empowering experiences provided by team sports programs. The reason? Sports programs are expensive to organize. When parents and guardians are working just to pay bills and put food on the table, they cannot afford to pay for their children to participate in extracurricular activities, let alone find the time to transport children to and from practice with relative ease. My mission is to bring back genuine community and corporate engagement in youth sports. Not just as a sponsoring advertiser, but as an investment into the future. Mentorship through sports has saved my life. I want to give the gift of giving back, and I want those who have means to give to share in that gift as well. #help #children #grow #strong #community-outreach #corporate-social-responsibility
How do I get information on different programs and clubs outside of school?
Recently, I have learned about different programs that are offered to students in my community, that I have never heard of before, until now. With this realization, I'd like to know how to be able to get informed if there are other programs or clubs that I'd be able to participate in. Not only that, but I'd like to know who I should be asking and talking to in order to get accepted into a good university. #communications #community #community-outreach #programs #clubs #student-activities #nonprofits

What would be the best way to approach some of the places and people I am interested in working with to create my own internship experience?
