Yonge Street Mission

As a computer teacher, I worked with so many children at different grade level. I worked with students from grades 4-8 and worked at different capacities as well. I was a camp counselor, a staff who worked with the Christmas Market and was responsible for the administrative duties that helped run the computer center. It was a fun work environment with so many different activities to fill. I fully loved working there and grew as a teacher. I established professional relationships with the children and youth and worked with them during the summer time. The hardest part for me, personally, was the work hours because I worked in the evenings and it wasn't as flexible as I had hoped.
I loved working there and had a fun experience.

I have been attending Yonge Street Mission for the past 12 years and I find the organization to be respectful courteous and kind they accept every person who walks through those doors on a daily basis feel welcome I have personally had the pleasure to get to know staff and other clients and have heard a lot of great reviews and I recommend this as a wonderful organization to work in.  A typical day depending on what position you are in could include answering telephones and directing to appropriate person via extensions directing people to food bank or counseling appointments setting up appointments for food bank receiving orders and donations.

Coworkers are extremely kind, but the pay isn't enough, and management is disorganized. They're also very too-faced, playing nice until they aren't. No performance feedback either, so you never know how you're doing. It's a very Christian organization, and they have NO tolerance for employees of other faiths, in fact they won't hire you if you're not Christian. 

Christianity is the foundation of this organization. They break twice a day for prayer and also hold group meetings for Bible studies and their interpretations and how that applies to Frontline work in Toronto. The group of people that work at Yonge Street Mission are very kind, compassionate, sincere and willing to help anyone and everyone from client to co-workers. Great atmosphere, positive and uplifting and with room to grow.

Had a good few months there, everyone was super supportive, was able to get my first aid done there, they had a group first aid course for all staff.
my days were good, 
just ended being to far to commute every day from the suburbs.
pay could be better!
my only major pet peeve was cockraches would appear in your office while doing work, once i saw that, I was out of there

Good job experience with great coworkers and group dynamics to work with friendly handling of food service and food products. Everyone is nice when you work there. They make you feel comfortable and welcoming there, if you need any help, they like to do that.

As a Volunteer 
 We do have a lot of amazing volunteer doctors and super nurses who do their endless duties
  I do give my best in multi tasking from receptionist to foot nurse assistant 
  We form a good teamwork everyday in a busy clinic, staffs and management are very helpful

Young Street Mission was a great volunteer experience for me.  I met a few cool elders as well as I had fun with the volunteer duties which included working at the food bank, calling annual sponsors, serving meals at the elderly weekly drop-in, as well as distributing company flyers.
