Much freedom, much cost - Director Young Life Employee Review

As with many massive organizations, the higher ups are quite disconnected from the people doing the fieldwork. As such, policy change is slow and difficult. This is a "mission-oriented" organization, but much of the power and influence comes from large donors with specific and rigid agendas (moral majority). Fundraising model makes it quite difficult from people of low socioeconomic background to actually last with a sustainable salary.
