Great mission Fantastic Coworkers Good support from management

Board of directors was very unwilling to allow for raises during the time I was there. (2009-2016) This led to massive turnover.

Pros

The youth and most colleagues.

Cons

Leadership is horrible. The executive director is an absolutely evil human being. Public ridicule. Lies. It is a hostile, toxic environment. The only hope is that it will be shut down and that lady gets banished to another planet where she has no opportunity to destroy lives further. I wouldn’t refer anyone here. I would never want a child to be placed here.
