Call for Applications: Volunteer to Represent APA and Psychology at the United Nations in New York
.................................................................................................................................

Application deadline July 31, 2009

APA is seeking applications from psychologists in the greater New York City area to join the volunteer APA NGO team at the United Nations headquarters. APA has consultative status with the UN Department of Public Information (DPI), the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) as one of many Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) whose goals overlap with those of the UN.

APA-appointed representatives work within the NGO community at the UN headquarters in New York. Based on APA advocacy goals and priorities, APA representatives collaborate with other NGO representatives and APA offices and governance to identify issues, organize programs, and draft statements that bring psychological science and a psychological perspective to bear on global policies and programs. Representatives also foster dialogue and information exchange between psychologists and APA and UN diplomats and representatives of UN agencies, and serve as APA’s conduit for information about the United Nations.

For 2010, APA has three open positions:
One position for Representative to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). ECOSOC representatives are expected to work within the NGO community to join one or more of the several NGO committees that parallel ECOSOC concerns.

Two positions for Representatives to the Department of Public Information (DPI). DPI representatives are expected to serve an informational function within the NGO community and to be a conduit for information to APA about UN activities and events and a source of information to DPI about the possible contributions of APA and psychological science to UN priorities and goals.
