Clinton Health Access Initiative Volunteers, Spring 2013

Overview: Since 2002, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, CHAI (formerly the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative), has been assisting developing countries in implementing large-scale,

integrated HIV care, treatment, and prevention programs. Our ultimate objectives are to make high-quality HIV/AIDS and malaria care and treatment available to all who

need it, and to partner with governments and other stakeholders to strengthen healthcare systems and develop sustainable strategies to overcome obstacles to scale-up.

The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is supported out of our Boston headquarters. CHAI headquarters staff are an experienced group of professionals, who work at

a fast pace to handle a high volume of far-ranging assignments. HQ volunteers play an integral role in supporting our various administrative and programmatic

departments. Each volunteer is truly needed - and appreciated.

We look for volunteers who are highly organized and detail oriented, proficient in MS Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), have good written and oral communications

skills, strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work as part of a team. They should also be flexible and able to take initiative.

Familiarity with international public health, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and/or tuberculosis, or facility with financial modeling and strong analytical skills are desirable

for research or analytical roles, but are not required for the majority of positions.

Applicants with accounting experience or IT experience are always needed!

Positions:
Positions are available in several areas, primarily in support of our various administrative departments. Open positions include:

•Administration •Development •Human Resources •Safety and Security •Applied Analytics Team •Contracts •IT •Accounts Payable •Accounting and Finance •Recruitment •Multiple Programmatic Teams

We are committed to making this a very positive experience for our volunteers. We want you to be able to achieve your individual goals here, as well as to contribute

fully to the workings of the office.

Each term is a learning experience for us, too. We are proud that our staff now includes several past Volunteers. In addition, many of our volunteers have gone on to

work in a variety of capacities in the private sector.

Important Information: Boston HQ runs only a volunteer program; we do not sponsor an internship program but generally will provide support for external funding or academic credit

requirements.
