Read quotes from former Residential Counselors

"I'm not really sure what I brought to the program, but I know what an incredible, positive impact my two years has had on my life!"

 

"While I didn't realize it at the time, I see now that my training and experience working with the kids gave me a perspective and knowledge far beyond my peers and fellow students." – Written five months after leaving, from graduate school.

 

"The challenge was tough sometimes, but I stayed and now can say my work with Boys Hope Girls Hope is the most meaningful experience of my life."

 

"I applied for the position of Residential Counselor right out of college. I stayed three years, used my experience and recommendations to get into the University of Chicago's School of Social Work, and now have an MSW and a private practice. Change my life? I'll say!"

"The experience – I cried, I laughed, I cried some more. But all in all, I wouldn't have missed the experience of working with these kids for anything in the world."

"The camaraderie of my Residential Counselor team is amazing! Living and working together with eight kids and actually building a 'family-feeling' home is phenomenal."

 

"It warms me and it tears me up! I think and feel on my job. And, in a small way, I'm being changed and I'm changing others. It's high energy, high impact stuff."

"I retired early and, to be honest, got bored. My wife and I raised four great kids. We were lucky. After she passed on, I wanted to give back. And I wanted to be immersed in the experience of child rearing again. Call me crazy. Guiding, sharing the pain and the joy. I love it."

 

"I've worked for over 25 years, I was good at my jobs. But the job I was best at was parenting. At Boys Hope Girls Hope, I'm doing what I do best, and I love it!"
