Awesome - Client Services/IT The Just One Project Employee Review

I began my journey with The Just One Project as a volunteer in 2014. What started as a way to give back to the community eventually became something much bigger. After spending 30 years in the corporate legal world, I made the leap into nonprofit work and joined TJOP full-time three years ago; I just celebrated my 3rd anniversary in January 2026. I started as an Executive Assistant and have since grown into the role of Director of Special Projects; a progression that speaks volumes about how much this organization values growth, trust, and recognizing people’s strengths and talents. The mission is real, lived, and felt every single day. The work is meaningful, the leadership is compassionate and visionary, and the team is deeply committed to serving the community with dignity and heart. TJOP is a place where your voice matters, where innovation is encouraged, and where hard work is connected to real impact. It is more than a workplace, it is a mission-driven community. I am constantly inspired by our team and so proud of the work we do everyday and what we accomplish together.

Like most nonprofits, the work can be fast-paced and emotionally demanding, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. If you care deeply about community impact, this won’t feel like a con.

As an employee of The Just One Project, I’m proud to be part of an organization that genuinely puts people first, both in the community we serve and the team behind the work. Every day, I see firsthand the impact we make in addressing food insecurity and providing critical support services with dignity and compassion. The leadership is mission-driven, the team is supportive and passionate, and the culture is rooted in respect, collaboration, and service. Working at The Just One Project is more than a job; it’s meaningful work that changes lives, including my own.

Like many nonprofits, we sometimes have limited resources, so we have to be creative and efficient. The upside is that the team is collaborative and always finds a way to make things happen.
