We're asking all of you to take a look at http://www.thebeehive.org/philly and email this link to five of your closest friends whom you think may benefit from the important information the Beehive has to offer. Check it out today!

2.) T4T VISTA Positions

Teaming for Technology at United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania in Philadelphia is looking for new recruits, and we'd be very excited to consider you for a position with our Team! As a T4T VISTA, diverse technical skills and interest in helping the non-profit community may be just what you're looking for.

Right now, we have three positions available to begin in August 2004.

1. We're looking for an Equipment Coordinator who facilitates equipment distribution among agencies.
2. We're also looking for a Training Assistant Coordinator/Teen Technology Network Assistant Coordinator who will spend half of his/her time assisting the Training Consultant in securing instructors, students, and training space, and the other half of his/her time assisting the lead instructor in an after-school program that works with high school students and technology.
3. Finally, we're looking for an Assessment/Implementation Assistant Coordinator who will primarily be responsible for technology assessments and tech support for T4T's member agencies

Experience or interest in applying technology to everyday situations in creative ways is a resounding plus for any candidate. Teaming for Technology is staffed entirely by a team of 4 full-time staff and one AmeriCorps*VISTA volunteer. We travel throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding counties offering technology consulting to organizations that are making a difference in their communities. In short, we help the people that help communities by doing both technical work (designing websites, assessing database options, setting up networks and labs with the super-charged brand new computers donated by IBM, and much more) and project management (matching volunteers and interns from local colleges and universities, partnering with national organizations, and more).

Interested but not sure if you fit the description? For more information about available positions and the program please contact Lorelei Narvaja at (215) 665-2427 or lorelein@uwsepa.org and Corey Stevens at (215) 665-2566 or coreys@uwsepa.org.

To apply, either submit an official AmeriCorps application (www.americorps.org) to Teaming for Technology/United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania in Philadelphia or fax it to us at (215) 665-2531. We'd be thrilled to read your application and consider you for a place on our Team!
