Review for Operation Nightwatch Portland, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I served as the full time Program Coordinator at Operation Nightwatch for one year and have since returned as a guest and volunteer. The kinship that is developed among people from so many walks of life through this organization and community is truly special. The community of Nightwatch, guest, volunteer, and staff alike, recognizes the need for acceptance and relationship, especially for folks on the margins of our society, to reach a place of healing. And organizationally, Nightwatch is run quite well, with great volunteer support.

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

Deepening my relationships with the poor, being humbled by the experience of those who come through our doors, learning how to manage a diverse community, and laughing a lot!

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

Find a perfect building space specifically for Nightwatch's use (which would require lots of money!)

Role:  Volunteer & I learned more about what it means to be human!.
