Review for A W O L All Walks of Life Inc, Savannah, GA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I have volunteered for A.W.O.L. but my main understanding of the organization comes frombeing a professional that has encourntered their programs and utilized them with clients. I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I work with teens that have experienced the death of a loved one. I have been able to refer my clients to A.W.O.L. where in a caring and supportive environment they were able to learn how to channel their emotions into something creative and positive. Whether it is being in the Hip-Hop play, working behind the scenes or learning a skill with working with sound, photography or computers all of my clients have reported having transformative experiences. I know as a professional I appreciate so much having A.W.O.L. as a resource. As a human being and memebr of this communtiy, I can not recoommend more highly the work they do with kids that may otherwise have been lost and that is as high of a calling as anyone can have. Please endorese A.W.O.L. and help them continue to change the world one youth at a time.

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

I have seen a client change from angry and unable to cmmunicate beyond hurt filled statements to still being angry and validly so but able to have an outlet for the angry and express it in a non-threatening way.

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

I would ask for clinical mental health professionals to volunteer to help when the work gets emotionally difficult.
