The KeelWorks Foundation needs project managers to help us with a wide variety of projects. Those with experience would be greatly appreciated. Those without experience who are still learning can be effective, if they are willing to ask questions and keep up task documentation.
This role requires the ability to meet at an agreed time each week and to monitor team communication at least once a day. Project managers often have a PMP certification, but being a project manager requires a person who can be verbally active in a meeting. This doesn't mean talking all the time, but it needs a person who can facilitate discussion, ask what people are working on and how that is going, ask who will do what next, and keep people motivated and on schedule.
A project manager must be able to get along with others and encourage timely delivery. In our case, this person is not a supervisor, and doesn't boss team members. Then this person ensures that the task is represented on a gantt chart (we can teach you how to use a gantt chart).
If you want to learn project management, we'll help you, if you can be available for a set time each week.

About KeelWorks Foundation

Mission Statement
To support a better world with better citizens by fostering learning competence, emotional intelligence, and networked intelligence. KeelWorks especially wishes to bring greater participation to the economically disadvantaged across the globe. We are building a system to support upward mobility.
Description
KeelWorks is a 501c3 foundation. Since 2008 hundreds of graduate students and unemployed workers, reached gainful employment while helping KeelWorks build structure for change. We want to end poverty across the world, changing one life at a time. The KeelWings program for recent students and the KeelMate program for transitioning workers apply their learning while gaining experience supporting the KeelMaster program development. This experience reflected in a competent resume - with our guidance - qualifies them as a credible job applicant. The KeelMaster program is designed to support employment for the more challenged unemployed. This program begins with barrier identification and mitigation, assigns participants facilitated teams where they learn core competencies, ending with goal determination. They access training, and while doing so, join paid internships. Mutual support, core competencies, application, and clear and objective progress metrics support measured results. This structure for change will be replicated over and over across the globe. While other programs give the needy fish, we teach teach them to fish.
