Pros

Has assisted many foster youth in need. Good place to work if you are fresh out of high school, haven't worked anywhere in a long time, need to build your resume to move on to bigger and better things.

Cons

FosterClub is unorganized and unprofessional. You can see that from the VERY high turnover of employees, and the fact that they restructure the organization every few years. If you are interested in working here, talk to any former employee or former foster youth that has worked with them. The large majority will report negative experiences and even trauma from working there. People have uprooted their entire lives to move and work for this organization, and regret it immediately. For a "small staff" I can think of at least 10 former staff members who have been harmed by working there. Do not make the same mistakes we did.

Pros

Really proactive and supportive leadership navigating a tough landscape. The work is important and I feel supported in doing it. All staff are able to contribute to organizational goals and culture. Staff retreats are in-person and are well structured, but also fun. I feel cared for.

Cons

doing this type of work remotely isn't for everyone. Working with young people, managing multiple projects at the same time, and having good communications is hard in any workspace, but even more challenging via zoom. also, it is a small organization despite being nationally focused, so promotions and growth opportunities are limited, but not their fault.
