Pros

What's not to like about the mission? Youth, environment, work experience. A lot of great people - staff and interns - who are mission-aligned and have big hearts. The organization has deep history and has accomplished a tremendous amount.

Cons

The leadership was isolated in a rural part of the US and consequently was not able to embrace quickly enough the importance of having staff and policies/programs that reflected the urban communities it served. It's catching up in some ways but in many ways it was too late--and they lost a lot of the committed, innovative young professionals who reflect the diversity of our US cities and the youth we served.
