GoTeachInternal:Stakeholders and Contacts/Regional and Local Contacts

10.3.1 How to create a contact list

GoTeach there there Contacts are made up of DHL Ambassadors and volunteers, as well as the (local) coordinators from the partner organisations (SOS Children’s Villages & Teach For All).

If you are starting GoTeach, you may want to talk to the Country Manager of your local DHL Business Unit(s), who will help you to choose two or more coordinators who:

• Love volunteering especially with young people
• Are self-driven and can motivate others to volunteer as well
• Can juggle their work and that of coordinating a team

For national SOS Children’s Villages organisations, the National Director would be a great contact person since he/she can help you choose SOS Staff who would be the best candidates for coordination of GoTeach.  

For national Teach For All organisations, the CEO would also be great to help choose coordinators from Teach for All

Having the following in your contact list for GoTeach in your Country is very advantageous:

• A HR-point of contact, as he/she is aware of internship opportunities and has contacts in DHL and out that can be very helpful. Also, he/she has a clear idea of the abilities of the entire team hence can help mobilise people for activities
• Someone in Finance (both from DHL/SOS Children’s Villages) -he/she can help with finance mobilization for GoTeach activities. He/she can also help educate the GoTeach Team (from DHL, SOS Children’s Villages, Teach for All) about procedures needed to get finances for activities. He/she is the best person to hold a session on finances for the young people
• SOS Children’s Villages Program Coordinator - he/she has access to the youth and is already doing programs with them

Note: this is not to say other members of the team are not valuable, they are very valuable; in fact, the above could just be additional need-to-have contact list Access the full contact list of GoTeach following this link.
