My Nonprofit Reviews
Beth Grubbs
Review for The Lighthouse Foundation, Baltic, SD, USA
I grew up at the Lighthouse since my family has been very actively involved since it's first day of operation. My mother was an employee while I was in middle school. While I was in college, I interned at The Lighthouse- then went on to serve through AmeriCorps after I graduated. I now am the Director of Transitional Housing. I am inspired by the vision of the ministry, Vern- our fearless leader, and seeing people change for the better once you invest in them. It is an amazing thing to be a part of- I feel very blessed!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
meeting basic needs for people, motivating others to do better, giving people a sense of family, seeing people grow closer in their relationship with Christ!
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
practice servant leadership as Vern does now- getting his hands dirty and serving the people we help as well as the employees and volunteers, encouraging them to keep on!
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
meeting wonderful people along their journey to becoming more independent and realizing their potential.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
selfless and caring.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
start some of my dreams for The Lighthouse including a drop-in coffeehouse bookstore, more youth outreach programs, more services for homeless families.
Ways to make it better...
more people understood our mission and saw all of the great things we do that do not get noticed!
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
maintaining the sense of family and care for the people we serve in a world that is rapidly becoming impersonal.
One thing I'd also say is that...
I am proud to be a part of this ministry.
