Review for One East Palo Alto, E Palo Alto, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a Program Officer for One East Palo Alto's United Way grant, I am pleased to show my support of their program. One East Palo Alto is a well-run organization with effective programming delivered by and for the community. The organization works to engage community members in addressing issues on a systemic level and successfully encourages young people to become change agents and future leaders of their community.

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

engaging at risk young people to move their lives in positive directions.

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

rely on staff and volunteers since they know their community best.

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

the staff is committed, dedicated, and easy to work with.

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

folks from the community (!) who care about EPA and want to make it better.

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

ensure a job, oppertunities, and a positive future for all young people in EPA.

Ways to make it better...

we would help leverage more funding for 1EPA.

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

$$$. More $ = more oppertunities that can be provided to young people. They capacity is limited by limited funding.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2008
