Working at RHI - Anonymous employee Red Hook Initiative Employee Review

They do great things for the community and the youth, awesome awesome awesome

Need help getting more outreach

Really wonderful organization with great coworkers and managers. Work here is satisfying only when you get to work directly with the youth.

The organization recently went through a leadership change with a new executive director . She is a novice inexperienced leader without any formal background or any understanding of the most important things that makeup a youth development organization. It is extremely difficult to work under this new leadership, as the leader tends to shut down voices within the organization through intimidation and threat. Poor work-life balance. Decisions tend to be made autocratically while touting a facade of collaborative decision making and group work. Inexperience shows up in people and program management. As a result people who I have worked with for years are leaving in droves.
