Pros

The organization originally had good intentions to help foster youth.

Cons

I plead with anyone considering moving to Seaside to work with FosterClub, please please please reconsider, and talk to anyone who has left. FosterClub is a project led by a rich white woman who never experienced anything that she is leading. She is a business woman at heart, not a humanitarian and you will always see that reflected in the company practices. FosterClub is not a professional organization. They continue to re-traumatize the youth in the care, as well as their employees. They often seek POC, LGBTQIA+, and foster youth alumni to join their staff for the sake of "diversity", but there is no actual support for these staff members. Executive team is biased, harmful, and greedy. They want personal recognition and status and money, and no longer actually care for helping youth. They just want to become bigger and better, expand expand expand... but why? There is so little actual support happening, so little that they actually do. Consider joining the FC team if you: Enjoy working 60+ hours a week for bare minimum living wages Can handle a dozen different projects at once with no guidance or support from your team Care more about making FosterClub money than actually making a difference for youth in care

Pros

Really proactive and supportive leadership navigating a tough landscape. The work is important and I feel supported in doing it. All staff are able to contribute to organizational goals and culture. Staff retreats are in-person and are well structured, but also fun. I feel cared for.

Cons

doing this type of work remotely isn't for everyone. Working with young people, managing multiple projects at the same time, and having good communications is hard in any workspace, but even more challenging via zoom. also, it is a small organization despite being nationally focused, so promotions and growth opportunities are limited, but not their fault.
