Pros
-Great place for motivated advocates to get substantive experience even at early stages in their career, lots of opportunity to craft and drive programming -Dedicated to a partnership approach, to work in solidarity with and support of frontline advocates across the US and globe -Unique opportunities and flexibility for innovation and rapid response to create impact and fill gaps that larger national and international organizations miss
Kontras
-When centralized resources spread thin over the multiple program areas, it can feel like a all-hands-on-deck start up (upside as well as downside) -Array of separate programs (multiple small teams) presents challenges for internal communication and coordination given all the independently moving parts -Structure can make long-term internal advancement a challenge, though there is lot of room for increasing levels of autonomy and the work presents excellent networking opportunities, with a strong track record of external advancement starting with Legal Fellows on up.
