Pros

The best part is working with some amazing young people and their families. Many of these kids desperately need support and guidance, and working with them can be very rewarding. Hours and scheduling can be very flexible.

Cons

The job can be stressful and does not compensate well. Advocates pay for activities up front, and also must pay for gas. YAP only pays for a portion of the mileage spent while working, and allows little time for paperwork.

Pros

The people I worked with were nice. The hourly pay was good if the clients showed up that is.

Cons

The clients never showed for the appointments. Because of that it's hard to make money because even though I was there 30 hours a week I was only getting paid for 6-10 hours because the clients no showed all the time.
