Pros
The organization is driven by a clear mission, with a staff that authentically cares about the community of stakeholders. They are dedicated to impactful and essential work. The direct service team is not only passionate but also highly motivated. The administrative team recognizes the significance of the mission and proactively fosters an environment where the program team is equipped with all the necessary resources and tools, setting the stage for success
Cons
Amidst the challenges of a post-pandemic landscape, there has been significant turnover and rapid growth within the organization. In the past 12 months alone, two-thirds of the leadership team chose to move on. As the organization experienced this surge, it grappled with growing pains, the existing organizational and operational infrastructure wasn't robust enough to sustain such expansion.
In an effort to strike a delicate balance between growth and the establishment of a stronger foundation, the organization has been actively working to enhance its infrastructure. However, this has not been without its operational challenges.
Additional challenges includes financial resources.
