I really like that there are organizations like Arriba Juntos i believe though that there needs to be more exposure to the public not only so as to educate the public about the organization but to bring it to light and allow the Administrator to show what they are doing and it helps them to be accountable to all including those they help. Transparency is the best polcy for any non-profit. I really love this organization but as i worked there they seemed to not want public exposure ? so i asked why? The more transparent we are to the public the more above board we are. One thing i did notice is there is a Dept. head that has a tendency to take things personally and she has a record of over 30 or 40 fireings/dismissals of employees. I asked myself if that many terminations is reasonable? but then i had to ask myself is that abuse of authority and then i asked why is this organization not in the public eye? I've volunteered for AJ for over 6 months and seen all this and i've even suggested for public exposure but all i get is blank statements. I've asked some of the paid employees if they'd like public exposure they say yes but will not speak up due to the fact that they dont want to get fired. Well i've said enough overall i really enjoy working at AJ.
