Burroughs is a great asset to the community. They offer meeting spaces, activities for children, a…read morecommunity garden, citizenship classes and English language learning opportunities, among other services. I'm a big fan of the "Our Woven Community" program. It supports refugee women with opportunities to make and sell beautiful handbags, scarves and other items. I recently bought two tote bags as gifts for friends. The bags were lovely, unique, and each one included a biography of the woman who created it. My friends loved them! Our Woven Community doesn't have an official shop space in the Burroughs building, so I called ahead and when I got there the receptionist showed me bins full of items for sale. They also sell the products online and at craft fairs, farmers markets, etc. Half the proceeds go to the women directly, and the other half pays for supplies, equipment, and entrepreneurial skills training.

I attend groups meetings here regularly and it's an amazing building. Not too far from the highway…read moreand there's plenty of parking. The building is beautiful, always clean and has an attendant in the front when you enter. The meeting space in each room is perfect.

To me this can be considered fraud. I was approached on my day off from work at a shopping mall in…read moreLA, they were so annoying and persistent that I decided to give them a one time payment of $36. After a few days I found it strange that they removed $36 twice from my bank account. When I saw that I asked for a new Debit/Credit Card and thought it was resolved. 2 weeks later they took twice the same amount of $36 making me think that they are able to grab your bank details. DO NOT give money to this "charity." When I try to call to cancel a payment and see what's going on they NEVER answer the phone. And on their site there is no "Cancel" button, only says for me to call costumer service. My Bank is currently crediting my account for all the $36 removed by Save the Children. And they are being investigated for fraud.

The benefit package for employees is excellent. I get so much vacation time, I'm off almost as much as I work! The consumers are always treated well and with respect. If this person saw otherwise, hope they reported it as a mandated reporter. As far as overworked and underpaid, this comes with the field!!! I do what I do because I love the work. Yes, I would love more money but funding is funding and you can't get blood from a stone. I think the Kennedy Center is a wonderful agency!!!
