Small non-profit with big mission: tackle urban poverty by addressing public policy - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso The Work First Foundation

The Work First Fellowship may not be for everyone, but for recent grads who are looking to gain lots of experience in just 1 year while making a livable wage, I can't speak highly enough. You gain tangible experience in case management and/or teaching, which you can translate into a lot of different future career paths. I owe much of my career trajectory and success to the fact that my very first role out of college was this fellowship

Some people may think it is a policy fellowship, but it's not, it's more a service year experience where you work directly for a government contractor that is directly impacted by federal policies on a daily basis

The Work First Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to lifting people out of poverty through employment. The organization does a fantastic job of managing a fellowship program, conducting policy research and running demonstration projects that prove the value of employment in changing peoples lives. I am honored to work for an organization that dedicates its resources to making an impact in low income communities. I am grateful to have colleagues who are passionate about our mission and possess the skills needed to make us successful!

There are no cons to the Work First Foundation.
