Review for First Glance Student Center, Inc., Akron, OH, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

What can I say about First Glance? Well I'll start by simply saying I love it, a weekly chance to interact with local kids and to instill in them some positive sense of direction and identity; what more could you ask for on a weeknight? How about a chance to play pool or Wii? How about a weekly meeting for teen mothers? How about a night dedicated to skating? How about a monthly meeting that's kinda like church but not quite? I guess I could ask for all those, and first glance has 'em!

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

my personal life. I often find myself wondering about life and how to truly live, again and again I am reminded at First glance that in laying down your life you find it.

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

not qualify myself to make such changes yet.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the Subway cookies for the leaders. Seriously though the kids, who doesn't love them?

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

cute, but unfortunately engaged. They were also all around great people that i enjoy serving aside.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

change the future of Akron, hands down.

Ways to make it better...

I knew how to skateboard.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

lack of finances, but never a lack of hope.

One thing I'd also say is that...

First Glance rocks.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every week

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
