Pros

Students and the staff working with them are great.

Cons

HJ has a typical nonprofit culture that does not promote or authentically support its BIPOC staff. This style of toxic management shouldn't surprise seasoned non-profit professionals. There are great staff doing their best while operating in an environment that only rewards conformity and assimilation. There are also nepotistic hiring practices that lead to favoritism. If you are a BIPOC employee in the fundraising department, expect to be isolated, silenced, and gaslit. It's a disappointing reality but often the case in a mission that is so deeply rooted in socio-cultural assimilation.

Pros

High Jump has an amazing mission that it's easy to get behind. When you keep your focus on the program, it's a huge motivating factor for getting the job done. The program team works tirelessly to benefit the students and deeply care about helping them to succeed. The board also cares deeply about the mission.

Cons

There is a toxicity to the company culture that comes from the management and permeates all aspects of the organization. Lower level employees are often thrown under the bus to save face and leave the board in the dark. All efforts done to reflect and improve the culture were surface level in my time at the organization.
