What happens at the NGOs after we leave?

Unlike so many of my peers, my practice experience is actually coming to an end this month.

However, even though I'm leaving, the organization continues.

UC Berkeley and Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS), the org I have my PE with, have been partners for years but I'm wondering how sustainable this partnership is. Students by nature are transient and temporary but also theoretically replaceable since we have such a high turnover and endless interest. However, I'm finding difficulty securing a replacement for the next academic year.

I'd be disappointed and uncomfortable if I moved on without a worthy replacement. If you are interested in community organizing, participation, or direct interactions with the community, please explore this link for more information about the Community Organizing Team (COT) and this link for the application.
