The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
seeing a family move on from the short term facility. One of the best things such services can do is give people a break for a spell then empower them to move on. Seen them do some great things for the kids, throwing birthday parties, etc.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
not enough experience to say
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Getting to know a couple of the teens better, and even getting to take them out to do a couple things they've never done before (ice skating and rock climbing)
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
engaged, committed, and competent. They seemed to enjoy what they did and had the best interest of those whom they serve at heart.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
expand its services further throughout the bay area and accomodate more residents. i think they could also get more staff to provide more services. I think they're sort of pressed as far as enough workers for the load is concerned.
Ways to make it better...
there were more teens to work with. young children is not my gift. I'm better off working with teens, but most of the children that come through are much younger.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
follow-up. don't know if they have any way of helping people once they have left...i.e. tapering off rather than a sudden drop, or just checking up to see how people are doing later. They may do this and I just don't know about it
One thing I'd also say is that...
i'd recommend volunteering and or donations
