Review for COMPASS for kids, Lexington, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was an intern at COMPASS for kids for four years. Initially it was just a job but after seeing change occur in the lives of the homeless clients, and even the early childhood educators. This program has inspired me and as it grows I see myself informing those in need about it. The organization is located in Lexington but serves clients in Great Boston and the Greater Lawrence area (and will some day span across Massachusetts).

I'm not sure I would change anything besides expanding throughout Western Massachusetts as I am not sure how many resources our available out there. Maybe a bigger staff as I know how much energy the staff puts into this cause.

Role:  General Member of the Public & Senior Intern - I'm not really sure how to define it but whatever someone needed done I tried my hardest to do so.
