Review for Community Empowerment Network, Ferndale, WA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I have been on the volunteer management team with CEN for a year. I chose the volunteer with this organization because of the focus on long term self-sustaining solutions to poverty instead of just one time hand outs. I am able to contribute the skills and knowledge gained from my professional career while also actively problem solving and learning from new experiences. In addition, this role is a great fit for me because it is virtual so I don't have to be in the same location as the rest of the team or find child care while I am volunteering. It is flexible so I am able to work when I have time instead of needing to block time off in my schedule. I like the freedom of being able to contribute ideas and stretch beyond what the rigid structure of the traditional work environment allows. For those who aren't able to work independently this role would not be a good fit, but for me it works very well.
