Pros

They have a strong mission and the work you do day to day is fulfilling and fun. If you care about kids and have the PATIENCE to work with them it will be a beneficial experience for you.

Cons

Their conflict resolution is dangerous. Zack of communication. Say they can’t fire people that are clearly emotionally damaging the kids we work with. Very messy situations that were handled recklessly. They could care less about what happens to you so long as it doesn’t fall back on them. So yeah super secretive. Gave them 3 stars because i enjoyed working with the kids and how it gave me the opportunity to get in a school and get a feel for the environment.

Pros

You do very meaningful work and the staff truly care about you and what you are doing.

Cons

School placements can be quite far from where you live, and the days are long (7:30 am - 5 pm). Often is exhausting, but you stay for the kids.
