Review for YouthWorks, a Program of Goodwill of Southwestern PA, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

North Hills High School was very glad to participate in the 2008 Job Shadowing Week. We believe that the program offered many beneficial experiences to our students. Most of our students indicated that they had both educational and enjoyable experiences. We do wish that some of the job shadowing sites might provide Youthworks! with more accurate information about the actual activities the students would be engaged in and the actual personnel which would be present. There were several disappointing situations where the advertised public official was not even in town and another where our students stuffed envelopes all day. Thank you again for organizing the Job Shadowing Week effort. We look forward to participating in the coming year.

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

our student's interest in a variety of careers.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the variety of different job shadowing experiences offered

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Deb Rock. Her efforts were fantastic.

Ways to make it better...

the job shadowing sites had been honest about what the students would be doing. Sen Orie's office had our students stuffing envelopes. (NOT WORTH MISSING A DAY OF SCHOOL!)

One thing I'd also say is that...

keep up the good work!

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
