Boys & Girls Club Employer Reviews

There is no dull moment with students who are running around in/out doors with various activities. Most of all it was fun being able to play games and interact with the different age groups as a whole. It is a very exhausting job, but fun.

great management crew, supportive co-workers

The hardest part of my job was standing for long periods of time. The most enjoyable thing about my job was meeting some great individuals.

Working for the boys and girls club made me connect with all the kids and learned lots from it

Great place to work and be with your friends. Loved all the counselors and kids.

This was my first job, so I was very nervous for most of it, there were no guidelines on how to run the class. I had a cornucopia of art supplies to work with, and was in charge of teaching large groups- often over 14 students. Students at the Boys & Girls club raged from 3 years old to 15 years old, at the time I was 18 years old, which was challenging – more... to say the least. Some of the children had a hard time accepting my authority considering I was only three years older than them. – less

During this internship I was able to work with children who did not have supervision at home during the day and usually had a tight living situation. A typical day consisted of outdoor activities with different age groups and educational activities to help teach new things to the kids. My co-workers were excellent people who ranged from psychology majors – more... to education majors.The hardest part of this internship was creating a relationship with the kids and hearing about their struggles at home and being unable to do anything about it. The most enjoyable part was working with the kids and seeing them enjoy themselves. – less

The Boys & Girls Club of the Lake Martin Area is a wonderful non-profit group that really cares about the children who will be our future. We motivate those who need it and give helpful instruction for those who cant be stopped by anything. To watch the future of these children's lives is a blessing and I am so glad I got to be a small part of it.

I come into work with a smile on my face knowing i am helping young kids develope the skills they need for the future, using computers, learning how to search the internet as well as use Microsoft Word and PhotoShop. Kids ask questions and get a helpful answer in an immediate manner.

Go to work around 1:30 to 2:00 pm write up weekly lesson plan, Prep for Art class, sharpen pencils for homework, Grab a sign in sheet. Set up tables in cafeteria. Wait for kids to arrive, sign them in hand out snacks. Take them outside for recess watch the children for safety, help with homework, more recess. teach art class, clean up class room and – more... call it a day. – less

A day time job that is full of friendly people and very rewarding. I have learned my passion for the youth and the art of being productively effective.

Productive work environment and friendly atmosphere. Interning at Indeed gives me a taste of what I am in for when I graduate school. The "work hard, play hard" mantra makes going into work very enjoyable. The hard work and dedication that is given is really shown through the company's weekly meetings.

Ok environment. Alot of hours. Management communicates well.

BGC has some great services they provide such as the clubs, counselling but the employment division is horrible and managed very poorly. Your voice will never be heard, management will never take responsibility for anything and staff are always blamed when something goes wrong. Management does not believe in loyalty and commitment and make you apply – more... for positions that you are already doing. It's chaos.... And a toxic environment to work in unless they bring in a new management team.... BEWARE – less

I enjoyed helping the young children with their work & problems they were experiencing at school.

Practice was Monday-Friday 5-7
Started with stretches and then drills after
The hardest part was getting the kids to learn how to play together as a team
The most enjoyable part was the first win and the smiles on their faces

A typical day at work was taking the kids to the gym for sports activity. Then go to the gaming area. Following that would be lunch and finally nap time. On Friday we would take the kids on many trips. For example the aquarium, beach clean up, swimming at the Atlantic CIty High School, to a farm where we pick our own vegetables and fruits, etc. My co-workers – more... where and i got along great we understood and fulfilled every task that was given to us. We as a team and we were all on the same page. The hardest part of the job was to discipline the campers. The most enjoyable part of the job was building new friendships. Along with that having great memories. – less

I went to the boys and girls club in middle school and decided to volunteer after that. I completely support this organization as a positive place for kids to come to make friends, get tutoring hepl with their homewrok, excercise and have fun while staying out of trouble.

I did front end cashier so I kept really busy between checking people out, answers phones, ordering items online.. the list goes on

Helping kids complete after school assignments.
Every child is different and tend to learn in different ways.
Management awesome.
CO-workers work well in a team.
Most enjoyable was putting a smile on the childs face when they had a good time enjoying there activity and understanding the homework assignment explained one on one.

I very much enjoyed my time at BGCA. I was able to meet new people, and share what I knew with other people. I was happy knowing I was making a difference with the children I was able to be around on a daily basis.
