More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the eyes of the child that I meet with once a week.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
hire additional staff to help train and support all the adults who work with the kids.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
meeting with my mentee as well as meeting a lot of other interesting adults in our community.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
top-notch caring and dedicated people from all walks of life with a common interest in making a better place for kids in our town.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
train and support enough volunteer mentors for all the kids that could benefit from a caring adult in their lives. It could also build and maintain safe spaces in which mentors and mentees could meet regularly.
Ways to make it better...
I had more regular interaction with the supervisor in charge at my student's school.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
a misunderstanding about why we need the amount of funding that it takes to run an "all-volunteer" mentoring program.
One thing I'd also say is that...
our volunteers are amazing people!
