Pros

The YMHA program is LA presents as a great opportunity

Cons

LA administors were unprofessional and unorganized. The students barely got the correct meals, if any. Material for projects came late, we had to do a lot of prov. The rules were never clear and changed day to day. The schedule switched often.. Some kids didnt even get their laptops until the program was over! When we needed assistants, all staff members in the office had terrible attitudes
