onward and upward - Administrative Director EFBA Employee Review

Leaders foster a culture where employees truly feel valued. Staff is directly involved in decisions. Option to work from home. Unique perspectives, experiences and contributions are encouraged and celebrated.

Working for a nonprofit is rewarding, but sometimes grants don't get approved and a project may have to be put on pause.

I worked with EFBA for 8 years. It started humbly as a parents' association and it is now a large French Language teaching institution known internationally and publishing learning material over the internet. Even though growth doesn't happen without rough patches and tumbles, EFBA never ceased to be a working place where being a human being with a heart anchored in the left side of your chest is never forgotten. It was very fulfilling to work with EFBA team for eight years. I will not be willing to work for anyone else, except for myself, after these years.

Ideal for the great Bay Area urban centers. But difficult for families in rural or remote areas to have access to EFBA teaching centers.
