Youth Opportunities Unlimited Employer Reviews

Working on the fry end was one of the hardest part of the job because sometimes their wouldnt be any room to move around

Being a non profit organization and working with disadvantaged youth, I found this job to be an eye opener for me. Financially it was a hard place to work and therefore I chose to leave. I loved the atmosphere, the people, the values and all it stood for.

put together the polls citizens used to vote on during election time. Fixed any problems and showed people how to work machines.

The experience was overall great, I really enjoyed working with all of my peers. Our typical day was to go around the neighborhood and pick up any trash. We also provided the area with gardening as well as cutting down shrubs, trees, ect. In my opinion this was the best opportunity for someone my age to take, I recommend this program to all the teens – more... around my area. – less

Working with the Y.O.U. program at Arkansas State University was a great experience. I enjoyed the students and staff equally.

They get you ready to work in the real world! Help find jobs that fit for you.

Y.O.U. places a great amount of effort into training young clients to become great community workers and stewards of education.

Loved working at this job because there was always work to be done and I loved working with many of the co- workers at most jobs I was placed in.

I love helping children with different projects and entertaining the kids with many activities.

a valuable resource to the community due to their diligence to students and the high schools

When I arrived at work we would sit at our tables with out other team members and sign in, when it hit 8:00 AM everyone got there water and headed to their work station. Being on the Rain Barrel team we usually went to the Workshop to start assembling our rain barrels. After we were done assembling the rain barrels we would go out with a taxi van and – more... a moving van behind us with the rain barrels. We delivered these to the residents of Cleveland who signed up for this program to help collect rain water to reuse rain water for watering grass, wash a car, etc. My Co-Workers were very fun but they also knew how to work very hard. Everyone on my team were on task all the time and never gave the supervisor any hassle. The hardest part of this job is when a CDC would order a bunch of barrels for their community and we would have to drop off 15 barrels plus 30 cinder blocks to their offices. The cinder blocks were used to keep the rain barrel elevated and easier to release the water. – less

I had to completely clean a high school in my local area where I helped moved desks, cleaned floors, and took out garbage overall it was great some days but tiresome on the others.

i loved working there because i love kids and being around them is the best feeling ever.

a typical day at work was a funny field day and made the fun out of our work so that it would go by faster. what i learned in the work place was who to use a floor polisher/wax machine. i also had to clean and move thing and reorganize the classrooms around it was a cool job because it was my high school that i went to. the management was hard because – more... my boss always wanted things a serenity way and done so if we had done the job with another adviser he would tell them that's not the way i wanted it and we would have to redo the room over his way he wont that was one of the hardest part because we would be tried from like 10 classrooms we have done already in the day. the most enjoyable part was when we got to listen to music while working and talking about what we were going to do after work. – less

While working at Youth Opportunities Unlimited I was treated with the utmost respect. I arrive to work everyday punctually while working with a great team. I worked for Youth Opportunities Unlimited on two separate occasions. They were both during summer break and it gave me the chance to better myself for the real world ahead.

the team really helped me along with earning my certifications
