Review for Pause for Parents, Play for Kids, Liberty Twp, OH, USA
Pause is an AMAZING organization. I love working there and knowing the work I do is meaningful and making a difference in the lives of kids, families, and communities. As the Director of Family Strategy, it is my role to help shape programs and create a culture that cultivates resilience. At Pause we value people over programs, both internally and externally. That means we choose to work harder because people are worth it. We consistently go the extra mile doing things above and beyond and loving extravagantly, because our purpose is that people know their value so they can become who they were created to be. We do this through providing 1-1 supports for kids who need it, making and creating safe and fun environments, sending care packages to families who are going through a hard time, offering respite to families who need it, and listening to families needs through family conversations. Working at Pause isn't like being a cog in a wheel, it's like playing with wheels and creating vehicles that use wheels to do work that matters the most. It's not just a great place for families it's a safe haven for staff too.
