My Nonprofit Reviews

Aim High is a topic of conversation for me at least once a week. I was a Master Teacher at the SF Community site in San Francisco's Excelsior district. After applying for a teaching position online, I was approached by one of the site directors in a unique way - she called me for an interview and offered to meet at a cafe in my neighborhood. After I was hired, I started the week of Aim High training and felt like I was automatically part of a team. The staff took care of each other. Aim High took care of us. By the end of the intensive training week - I felt more ready for work than I ever have in the 2nd week of starting a job. I even felt excited to go to work every morning! The students took their studies seriously, which I did not expect. I think they take their studies seriously at Aim High because the curriculum is fun. I co-lead an elective called "San Francisco City Exploration" and was then able to build a better relationship with a lot of my students by exploring new places with them. The only complaint I have is that Aim High is only a summer program. I wish I could work there all year! I give Aim High 5 stars for multiple reasons: 1. The continuity of students and staff f 2. The curriculum and the evaluations of students and staff 3. The organization's great treatment of staff. Aim High promotes creativity, self-reflection and positivity by inspiring students to reach their goals.
