Great Experience - Avis employé Program Coordinator Learning Rights Law Center

Everything was great. I loved working in the laid-back environment. You work every day to make a difference in a parent's and child's life. I learned so much from the passionate and informative staff. The other interns were also super chill.

There were no cons at all.

-Working with families in the community helps you avoid the toxicity of staff

-No professional development -4 Executive Directors have come in gone in the past 4 years -The organization laid off new hires right before Thanksgiving in 2019 because their board member turned new ED and development staff mismanaged funds. -People constantly quitting or being laid off because of the chaotic environment. -No Black staff members -Legal staff (especially the attornies) are usually rude to administrative staff and volunteers. -Current staff feel comfortable making negative remarks and judgments about the clients they serve. Both the legal team, admin staff regularly gossip about the clients. Staff lack cultural competancy to work respectfully with marginalized & underrepresented communities.
