My Nonprofit Reviews

I started working with this organization as a PTA about 4 years ago but only about 6-7 hours a week. I was doing it on the side of my "real" job, were I managed an adult orthopeadic PT clinic. I immediately fell in love with the kids, and as I learned more about the services provided and the heart of the people I was working with, I started to fall in love with the Center. So much that a year ago at my "real" job we had some buy out and restructuring and I faced a dilemma. I could stay with that job, a job I did love and was very knowledgable in and experienced in, but because of the restructuring wouldn't be able to stay working at the Center. Or I could quit the job and hopefully come on full time at the Center. After some deliberation I came to the conclusion that I needed to work full time at the Center. One, I couldn't NOT work with these kids, but even above that was this organization. I wanted to give up the position and stature I had built up over the last 11 years and tie my time to something so purposeful and meaningful. The HEART is at the heart of the Center. Everyone has an incredible heart for equality and independence for the kids we work with. Everyone deserves the right to reach their highest potentials, not to be hindered.
