Review for Festival Center Inc, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am intern with the Discipleship Year program, which means I have trouble choosing categories from the drop-down menu above. Am I a client served, or am I a volunteer? I think that this dilemma encapsulates the essence of Church of the Savior. All of us are receiving while we give, and all of us are giving while we receive. This year, I've taken classes and taught classes at the Servant Leadership School. I've been brought dinner by the local support team, and have baked bread for my class of students at my volunteer site, the Academy of Hope. I love this way of being Christ's hands and heart in the world. We do try to live the prayer of St Francis in the heart of DC. I'm quite fortunate to be here.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

my own spiritual life. I came here to discern a call to ordained ministry and have been blessed with incredible role models.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

continue to address the organizational challenges that so many of us in the non-profit world face -- managing the pressing needs of clients while trying to hold logistical deadlines at the same time.

Role:  Client Served & I teach GED classes for adults.
