About Children International

Children International is a nonprofit organization working to eradicate poverty around the world. At CI, we believe that every child matters and that it is simply unacceptable that over a billion children live in poverty. The CI approach is to invest in our kids and youth to grow up healthy, educated, employed and empowered to break the cycle of poverty and become positive agents of change in their communities.

Today, Children International directly invests in more than 280,000 children and youth through 13 agencies in 10 countries across the globe. In addition, about 1,400 mission-driven employees around the world and about 8,000 volunteers help our kids overcome poverty. The person we are seeking as our Contact Center Trainer will be capable of developing and implementing training plans for new and existing contact center employees. These efforts along with those of our global team will help deliver on our goal of directly serving 1,000,000 children and youth by 2025.

The work Children International does on behalf of children in poverty is funded primarily through a one-to-one sponsorship model. We are transforming our funding model to dramatically increase the support we provide our kids. Additionally, we are taking our programs from good to great by elevating our people systems and practices worldwide. That’s where you come in.
