If you are a college student and looking to make a good amount of money..This is a job you should look at.

I enjoy the job itself, however upper management and people in leadership roles require more training and experience.

It is a title or a topic of research paper this year at Arizona State University in Tempe.

Beginning of the day, greeting and welcoming my clients with a smile, giving off positive energy. Preparing the breakfast, lunch, and dinner table for my clients. waking my clients to begin their day, followed by showers and grooming. My co-workers and I prepare for our daily transportation trips to day program. some clients are wheelchair bound so – more... that's not an easy task, but with practice it gets easier by the day. At the end of our day, I prepare and have sit down dinner time with my clients which is very enjoyable to me like they are my 2nd family. – less

What I learned while working at this job was the different types of handicapped.

It is okay just to start with a new opportunity working with disabled individuals. Co-workers are okay but don't trust everyone. The hardest part of this job is getting your duties completed. The most enjoyable part of the job is the end of the shift and the smiles on the individuals.

Check e-mails, pull files for the days interviews if had some that day, make sure packets put together, produce and mail out letters to individuals and providers. File any paper work needed, along with data entry of any information.

because of the various things I did it made me very diverse and able to adapt easily to my surrounding

Gaining the experience and knowledge odf working with developmentally disabled population.Its a very rewarding job and I love what i do there.

i enjoy working here. i helped a lot of people. management was good.

I set up appointments for new clients. I help put packets together on what the company provides. At the end of my sure what was on the to do list was complete for the day

Get to make my work schedule. Values family, emergencies, time off.

My job consisted of keeping internal tracking logs for the Northeast Key Grants whick we received a grant for over $6 million dollars.
It also made me feel good to see that the children of the Lehigh Valley were getting the best education and care.
My relationalsihp with co workers was delightful, had a very strong team
The hardest part of my job was – more... seeing the funding being decreased every year.
The most enjoyable was seeing the Safe Start children actively playing in the classrooms. – less

Over seeing daily operations of the center. Maintaining staff and student files. Ensure agency policies and procedures are implemented daily.

During the 4 years at CSDD the IRA I worked at went through 8 managers. Stuck working 4pm-12am, some of them I never even saw. Without any manager to make decisions I was stuck in my position for years. The coworkers all argued and tried to get each other fired. The one saving grace was the residents living at the IRA, they were the only reason I did – more... not resign. Like sponges soaking up their surroundings they had the potential to become very progressive in the right environment . – less

Helping clients eat,walk,shower and get dress.Learned that they want and need so much attention.The hardest part is to c them being mistreated

It's ok. Management needs overhaul. Can't say more. Too much f a power trip by manager. The staff is good but too much micro management.

Worked for CSDD for 2 years. I am a college graduate, and this was my first job out of UB. I currently work in Day Hab and I love it! I have a great manager who runs a tight ship. The only thing I would say, and perhaps with all non-profit agencies is I wish I could receive better pay for the amount of work I do. Also, it seems to me that they promote – more... people who tend to have a lot (6 years plus) experience, rather than if you have the degree. On the flip-side, they have excellent benefits, and starting out you get 24 days of PTO that does not include sick-time.

Also I forgot to mention, at the end of the day you feel fulfilled that you did something worth while, the individuals that receive our services really make a way into your heart.

Great place to work! Love it! – less

This was a fun community service because we are not only helping one community service and each charity that we picked is different. I applied my studio art major experiences to helping with creativity of using the interior space and how to advertise these charities and help the audience understand these charities better.
