While the USA may be the only country with America in its name, it’s not the only country in the Americas. Our region encompasses much of the Western Hemisphere and has an amazing diversity of geographies, cultures, people, and more. While most of us seem to get along pretty well compared to other parts of the world (at least recently we have), it’s still important to foster an even better inter-American relationship. That’s exactly what Americas Society/Council of the Americas does. They are two New York, NY based non-profits in one that aim to improve relations across the Americas. The Americas Society “is the premier forum dedicated to education, debate, and dialogue in the Americas,” while the Council of the Americas “is the premier international business organization whose members share a common commitment to economic and social development, open markets, the rule of law, and democracy throughout the Western Hemisphere.”

Americas the Beautiful

AS/COA divides the Americas into four core regions: Andean, Central American & Caribbean, North America, and Southern Cone & Brazil. Across these regions they work on a variety of issues ranging from Democracy & Elections, Immigration, Security, and Trade, to Arts & Culture, Entrepreneurship & Job Creation, Social Inclusion & Development, and much more. To better understand what AS/COA is doing on these issues, you should take a look at their Publications and Videos. You can dive extremely deep into their content, and you should if you’re interested in a career with AS/COA. After doing that, then you’ll want to visit the organization’s Jobs page. Right now the only opening that they have is for a Receptionist/Administrative Assistant in their Washington, DC office, but I’m sure other opportunities will pop up in the future.
