Great Experience - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) S.T.A.R. Programs

I have worked at S.T.A.R. for several years and really enjoy the co-workers I have had the opportunity to get to know and the professional and personal growth that I have experienced. Great training opportunities

Would benefit from a more structured training program

When I graduated from UCSC I had no experience when it came to working with foster youth and this agency has been a huge steeping stone for me in regards to working myself up to my current position. I have rapport with the youth, DFCS and Probation Department. I have gained knowledge and experience that a text book can not teach you! STAR Programs is definitely a positive stepping stone. Working here has opened so many doors such as graduate school and job offers. I can really say that I have grown professionally at S.T.A.R Programs.

I know what I signed up for when I applied for a not profit. it is a small agency which can be a pro and con depending on the need ex: resources or pay. I am there to work and don't mix my personal life into the job. I am there to work. AS with salary sometimes I work more/less hours depending on what is going on that week.
