Pros

Meaningful work, long hours, challenging but wonderful kids. You can't help but feel very close to everyone, small community

Cons

Exhausting, burnout, getting emotional thinking about how much these kids have to put up with in their life outside of camp

Pros

I arrived to HG during a time of great upheaval. Think poor management, disorganization at the leadership level, and high employee turnover. During my time there, leadership was replaced with people who seem smart, organized, competent, and collaborative. By the time I left, they'd put in a lot of effort to mop up the messes their predecessors left, greatly improving employee morale. For the most part my team consisted of warm, passionate people who cared about the mission of the organization and wanted to make a positive impact. The work was challenging, but it was great to be part of an organization that is making an impact. I hope they continue to grow in a positive direction!

Cons

Budgetary constraints, insufficient trainings (this was changing by the time I left), no curriculum to teach from (this was also changing by the time I left), highly stimulating and emotionally draining work. I saw huge improvements in the level communication and organization, but there's still room to grow here!
