Pros

I love working at Daybreak. The shelter director is really nice and understanding, rather it is with the youth or staff she is available to hear any concerns that a person may have. The scheduling is very nice and flexible. The environment is relaxed and easy going. The youth can sometimes be a handful but given the situations it is understandable. This job is very low stress and overall wonderful. Majority of the staff is really nice and friendly. To really enjoy this job you must have a big heart and a listening ear.

Cons

No real cons but when working in some areas of Daybreak be prepared to hear stories of kids, teens, and young adults who have had an unconventional life. Some stories are really heartbreaking and you have to hold it together for the youth.

Pros

Meaningful mission and high-impact work. A great place for those deeply committed to advocacy and the mentorship.

Cons

High Attrition: 13 staff members leaving in less than a year Operational Instability: Sudden changes to benefits and a lack of condensed administrative processes (too many meetings) detract from client care. Wellness & Boundaries: There is a critical lack of training regarding client boundaries, leading to systemic compassion fatigue and burnout. Structural Silos: A lack of collaboration between Case Managers and Case Aides hinders team efficiency. Lack of clinical oversight -- Untrained staff have been made front-line responders to severe mental health crisis
