Great Org

Community engagement manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful mission. Dedicated staff, including CEO

Cons

Too many layers in CE with regional, national. The idea of every chapter doing the same thing the same exact way with no middle ground to customize and adapt based on local community needs can often be missed.

Great Place To Work

Business Outlook

Pros

JDRF’s mission was front and center in all the work we did - and therefore the work felt important and meaningful. That was always a good feeling and I do miss that! Although JDRF is a large organization, I always felt like there was above average autonomy at the local level. The regional director for the Southeast was amazing and I felt like our local voices were represented in national conversations. JDRF does a much better job than most at ensuring local chapters feel appreciated for the work they contribute to the organization and mission. The local volunteers are incredibly passionate, highly engaged, and committed to the organization.

Cons

COVID had a devastating impact on the overall event-based fundraising of JDRF. Although it was in no way predictable, it did make the last couple of years pretty difficult. I feel terrible that it happened to JDRF and other nonprofits with heavy event fundraising models. I’m sure they are building back stronger than ever and I wish them nothing but more advancements and a day with no T1D!
