Family Crisis Center

“I loved getting a first hand experience working with people who had been domestically or sexually abused. It was a neat experience to hear real stories and see what resources are available to help people who have been in those situations. it was great to see how a non-profit organization focused on helping others in their community works and to see how much the community helped and wanted to be involved. I walked away with a much higher respect for the people in the Rexburg community and their desire to serve. I also liked that there was heavy issues, but not a lot of different situations piled on you at once. Therefore, it was a good way to get your feet wet and experience what a job in this capacity would be like, but also not feel extremely overwhelmed physically or emotionally. And honestly, the support system at the Family Crisis Center when heavy issues were brought to the center was amazing. It was great to have so many caring advocates help you learn how to debrief and let go of the heavy things so that you could truly help people who came through the door. ”

“I liked the people working there and experience working as a receptionist. I was also able to learn how a non profit runs. It was a very neat experience. I was also able to sit in with our advocates as they talked with clients and was able to see everything that was going on. ”
