**Applications submitted via ADP will not be considered unless you first apply through the CIEE Local Coordinator Website
Please note - The Local Coordinator role is strictly Part-Time. The pay is based on task completion and is not paid hourly. This role is great for a little extra money and a connection to supporting international education. This is not a suitable role for anyone seeking consistent income. The local coordinator must also live within 100 miles of Astoria, OR.
CIEE, Council on International Educational Exchange, is seeking Local Coordinators in the Astoria and surrounding areas. As a CIEE Local Coordinator, you help coordinate school and host family placements for international high school students in your local community. You also work with regional staff to coordinate supervision and support for students and families throughout the duration of the exchange program. CIEE Local Coordinators are passionate about bringing the world closer together, increasing inter-cultural awareness, and finding safe and welcoming homes in their community for international exchange students.
Primary Responsibilities:
Knowledge and Skills:
Successful candidates for the Local Coordinator position possess the following qualities and skills: Creativity, patience, persistence, strong social skills and the ability to work with all people. Ability to problem-solve, network, communicate effectively, and act objectively, within CIEE and Department of State guidelines. An understanding of cultural differences is helpful, as well as a desire to work with international youth.
Training and Support:
CIEE provides comprehensive Training for Local Coordinators to prepare them for all aspects of the position including, but not limited to: placements, supervision and support, conflict mediation and resolution, sales/outreach, and intercultural training. Regional Staff members work directly with Local Coordinators to guide them through initial training modules and provide additional support and training throughout the year.
Hours/ Compensation:
This position is not salaried; this is an independent contractor role. Local Coordinators can receive financial compensation in the form of placement & supervision fees, bonuses, and all-inclusive travel incentives. As a Local Coordinator, you manage your own schedule and have flexible hours; many of our current local coordinators have full time jobs, are stay at home moms and dads, or are retired.
As per the terms of the Agreement, CIEE agrees to pay Local Coordinator as follows:
A placement is payable in two stages: 1) once a potential Host Family has been fully vetted, and 2) when an exchange student has been placed with that family and the placement is approved.
A Host Family is considered vetted when all of the placement paperwork is received in CIEE’s USA High School regional office and/or saved in CIEE’s online database, as appropriate, and CIEE has approved the Host Family’s application.
An exchange student is considered placed with a Host Family, for purposes of Placement payment to Local Coordinator, after a family has been fully vetted and approved by CIEE, and CIEE has made final arrangements for an exchange student to live with the Host Family.
