Love the mission!

Pros
If you have a passion for helping at risk youth and families within your community Boys Town is the place you want to be! Coworkers are like family, teamwork is encouraged, and they invest in training.
Cons
Like any nonprofit work with the at risk population, it can be stressful. Resilience and self-care are important skills to have to prevent burnout.

Pros
The work that Boys Town does for the youth is amazing! I do not work directly with the youth but they are why I am here. I love working for a bigger reason. My team is supportive and consistently challenges me to think outside the box. Additionally, my manager is supportive and pushes me to grow on a daily basis.
Cons
We need to have more family friendly events for staff. We have some however it is usually on a weekend. Yesterday we invited staff's children to come and trick-or-treat at the office. It was such a fun event and it was great to see staff and their families.
