Review for Oregon Tradeswomen Inc, Portland, OR, USA
Oregon Tradeswomen's (OTI's) values speak volumes about this mission-driven non-profit: Excellence, Respect, Equity, Empowerment and Community. OTI is a long-standing pre-apprenticeship educational organization showing youth and women from all backgrounds that there are alternative, high-paying, challenging careers available to them. OTI and its hard-wording, dedicated staff work tirelessly to educate, mentor, find jobs for and advocate for women in the trades.
I loved being a board member for over 4.5 years and being an ambassador for OTI in the local community.
The leadership and staff of this small non-profit are amazing women.

Review for House Of Dreams, Portland, OR, USA
House of Dreams (HOD) is a long-standing no-kill, free-roaming, all-volunteer cat shelter housing about 30 cats in a residential neighborhood in Portland, OR. These kitties are frequently long-term residents, elderly and in need of medical attention. Many are adopted, but many remain in place. HOD is one of the few shelters that takes in, and cares for, Feline Leukemia-positive kitties of all ages. HOD raises money for medical expenses, food, dental care, cleaning supplies, and house operating expenses. The shelter's rooms are cleaned every day by volunteer crews and the kitties have frequent visitors for socialization. It's simply the best place to be outside of a fur-ever home of your own!

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