Great cause but experiencing growth pains - Volunteer Coordinator Reading Partners Employee Review

In Dallas and nationally, they grew very quickly only to experience some layoffs of full-time staff. At Reading Partners, AmeriCorps members do the majority of the ground work. While most are great, there is a risk of overloading inexperienced members with a heavy work load that they may or may not be prepared for. There are some growth opportunities beyond your AmeriCorps year, but not a ton.
