My Experience So Far!

Pros

When I graduated from UCSC I had no experience when it came to working with foster youth and this agency has been a huge steeping stone for me in regards to working myself up to my current position. I have rapport with the youth, DFCS and Probation Department. I have gained knowledge and experience that a text book can not teach you! STAR Programs is definitely a positive stepping stone. Working here has opened so many doors such as graduate school and job offers. I can really say that I have grown professionally at S.T.A.R Programs.

Cons

I know what I signed up for when I applied for a not profit. it is a small agency which can be a pro and con depending on the need ex: resources or pay. I am there to work and don't mix my personal life into the job. I am there to work. AS with salary sometimes I work more/less hours depending on what is going on that week.

Pros

Working with STAR so far has given me a great opportunity to work with foster and probation youth.

Cons

Professional boundaries. I know there's valid reasons to it, but it's really hard not to cross these lines when you want to connect with the clients.
