Heritage Retreats is a unique and innovative program that gives unafilliated young adults an opportunity to learn more about their roots. To me the extraordinary aspect of this Nonprofit is two-fold; the success that the tutors and educators have in developing long lasting bonds with the students, and the sheer volume of inspirational education that takes place in such a short period of time.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the pressure free approach to education but the hands-on technique in caring and ensuring the comfort of each and every student.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
uniquely devoted, caring, charismatic and easy to approach.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
continue to provide this service to a broad array of young men and woman who derive immense benefit from it!
Ways to make it better...
I could have stayed longer. Even though I was a tutor/counselor, I found the program immensly fullfiling and gained a personal sense of self-awareness.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
funding - it is difficult enough to undertake such an important task in such a limited time frame.
