I'm seriously considering not working there anymore when I balance the abuse we get vs. the relatively low pay scale there. It's too bad because I like to support community venues and programs like theirs - but there's enough games out there.

I'd walk away and not look back. Send a letter to their director (or whoever is the leader of the program) explaining why, and move on.
That's what I'd do, but you're a big boy, so take it for what it's worth.
