Relief & Humanitarian Jobs

In light of the recent tragic events in Haiti, we bring you a Tuesday focus on opportunities with internationally-oriented relief, aid & humanitarian organizations in the DC area and nationwide/international. Much of this roster has been derived from Charity Navigator's list of highly-ranked organizations currently involved in relief work in Haiti.

Buy t-shirt, help Haiti - I don't know these guys myself, but I have confirmation from people I do know and trust that this completely legit & worthwhile. And the shirt is sweet.

Programming note: we will not be posting a new edition on Wednesday, Jan 20 - we will instead be working on expanding this list (so please check back for more) and doing additional work on our 2010 Summer Internship Special, running Friday through Sunday. See you Thursday with a regular just-the-jobs edition.
