Great Nonprofits

This organization is catered to the rich. We find it difficult to participate on our budget. You may be better off with a different organization. After attending an event I came away feeling as if they were very disorganized. There was mayhem and chaos at the Bee Hive event. It was overwhelming for the kids as well as those parents who attended.

This non-profit should be considered very carefully before joining their service. The idea is to have children volunteer with their parents to teach them a sense of responsibility for their community. The work that the children and teens do is very benficial to the recipients but the participation is limited only to those who come from wealthier families. The reason is because there are national and local chapter dues and costs for participation per child per project. The organization has large fundraising galas each year to raise funds but the funds essentially go to paying staff and COO/CEO salaries. The necessity for the high paid salaries is non-existent in this 8 person office. The organization is surrounded by rumors throughout the community of ex-members and ex-volunteers, of which there are many. There really are too many wonderful organizations out there to be a participant of this one.
