Mission:
Our mission: To protect wildlife and our environment and to build future conservation leaders by engaging youth in environmental stewardship projects worldwide. Our vision: We envision that all young people will take personal responsibility and action toward protecting wildlife and the environment in their communities through NWP projects, and that these inspired youth volunteers will become the next generation of conservation leaders worldwide. Our values : * Youth volunteers become leaders when they are given the freedom to identify and solve environmental problems on their own. * Wildlife and the environment benefit from litter cleanups, native tree plantings, nonnative plant removal, and community recycling programs. * Young people develop leadership skills and confidence, which helps them become responsible citizens, when they are empowered to make a difference. * Stewardship of the environment, for the benefit of wildlife and communities, requires long-term commitment from concerned citizens.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
2012
I ordered organic cotton socks, because I have an allergic reaction to regular socks. I ordered size 9-11 for my size 10 feet. Apparently, however, that size for socks translates to size 4-7 for men's shoes. I posted an angry note on the Website, and then wrote them off. However, I got a personal response from someone who had obviously read my post with real concern. They offered to take back the socks and send me the correct size. Which they did, even though I had already washed the socks (didn't realize they were too small until I tried them on after washing). They have followed up several times since. What was a bad experience has turned into a very good one. Could not ask for a better response.
