Review for Food First/Institute for Food and Development Policy, Pasadena, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My time with Food First was one of the best six-months of my life. I couldn't imagine a better group of people to work with from the staff to the director. During my time there I learned an amazing amount about every aspect of their policy, media, outreach and operations. Knowledge is one thing, but being a part of their grand effort was something I will never forget.

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

the way they are able to bring people together and bring excitement to policy.

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

make sure I brought on staff I knew would keep up the fight and rely on them to keep the wheels turning.

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

being able to direct my own efforts while being a part of a passionate team.

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

remarkable, unmatched.

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

give Marilyn a day off.

Ways to make it better...

we all had more hours in the day.

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

fundraising.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
