Gateway Community Services - Staff Testimonials

"On a daily basis, I notice our direct care staff working continuously for the better of the youth.
As teenagers and young adults, not every task that you are assigned is a fun one, but our staff helps to understand
the importance of independent living."

"I have the best job in the world! I get to serve young people. We talk about life, we make art, we work through feelings, and
we teach each other new ways to make positive changes in ourselves, our homes, community, and our world. AND I get smiles
and hugs on a daily basis!"

"One of the best things that Gateway Community Services offers to youth is the opportunity to be individuals. No matter
what their background, past, or circumstances may be each is treated with respect and dignity. Each is part of a team,
and the leader of their own program. For some youth that have never been respected and have never been valued giving them
the ability to see the good in themselves and others is a life changing experience."

"The most rewarding thing working at Gateway would be observing the youth mature and work towards improving their
situation and obtaining their goals. I have also met some incredible individuals that I will continue to keep a positive
professional relationship with."

"It is inspiring to see a broken down youth come into our program, then we (our team) help that youth make a better
life for themselves. Being able to take something from nothing is powerful. "
