A great career launch pad for students
|
I honestly complained about year up until I graduated. It was a full time job and full course load for a small to no amount of pay. Which the staff deducted from without mercy for "infractions" but getting through the process not only prepared me for the corporate environment, it also gave me a big name company to put on my resume that landed me a job paying nearly $20/hr at the age of 21. So no, year up is not for the faint of heart. Yes, they are essentially selling students to companies for a free 6-month "trial". No, the staff is not always going to be in your corner because their job is butts in seats not caring about you. None of that matters it's 1 year that can change the rest of your life by giving you 6months experience that allows you access to high paying jobs you would not otherwise have access to. Nothing is free you pay for that experience on your resume by working your butt off and being frustrated for a year.

An organization with a great mission
|
The young adults are amazing and you get to work with them directly. Year Up feels like a community and the people who work there are (mostly) great and all care about the mission.

Mission of the org is good, but white savior mentality is problematic
|
Year Up aims to help young adults earn meaningful careers, which is amazing. The young adults are the best part! Many of them do gain amazing skills and jobs throughout the program and after. The management on all levels is poor. The work is draining. There’s not room for growth on the program team. Black staff aren’t valued. Senior leadership makes advances at younger/new employees. The environment is tense and condescending. You don’t get extra pay based on your degree. They promote people based off tenure not experience or skills. Staff don’t have a true sense or understanding of youth development or student development to support young adults. Assumptions are made about them because of their race, lifestyle, or SES. They feel that they can fix systemic racism by providing black kids with skills to have a job. The racism in the workplace isn’t addressed. You get reprimanded for speaking about your own experiences. Management and leadership don’t address the issues that staff bring up. There’s really so much more to say.

great work!

The culture and workplace environment is so unique for a nonprofit. If you're interested in direct work with the population the nonprofit serves, this is definitely the organization. They are extremely committed to their students and their mission. Loved my experience there!
