Small non-profit supporting homeless youth in Washington County (Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro, Forest Grove, etc.) - Outreach Worker HomePlate Employee Review

Friendly staff .. fun at times

Favoritism .. unorganized .. no help, doesn’t listen

Excellent staff and coworkers who genuinely care about the youth being served. Every staff person who works here is a pleasure to be around and is extremely welcoming and caring.

The Executive Director is out of touch and highly dismissive. When issues are raised, she turns the case back on staff members and does nothing to improve the workplace. I routinely felt overwhelmed, stressed out, and unsupported and was told that I needed to "lean into my discomfort." I literally quit because of how awful it was to work with her. There's high turnover at this organization because of her mismanagement and even youth have said that things feel weird at HomePlate, which is really sad. She also spends funds on nonprofit training taught by her friends.
