Pros

Youth centered, staff is like family.

Cons

Too much turn around, the job is challenging and the pay is very little, but that's expected in a non for profit.

Pros

Before working at Alternatives I was unsure where my career was headed, and I almost gave up hope. However, as I continued to learn about the organization during my onboarding, I saw that Alternatives was genuinely invested in servicing the needs of the youth they worked with. They were not treating the youth as a data point to meet grant obligations but valued them and saw them as thought partners to inform the work they were doing. As for professional development Alternatives, will definitely make sure you have the tools you need to excel in your role.

Cons

Brand Visibility - Not a lot people were aware of the work Alternatives was doing in the community.
