SLIDE RANCH
February 24, 2009
I was a teacher intern, then Operations Director and finally Board member of Slide Ranch over the period of almost six years. The benefits to me personally of being involved ranged from the emotional reward of seeing the wonder on the faces of youth from Oakland who had never before seen the ocean, to the profound experience of slaughtering a chicken with my own hands for food, to the political growth I was exposed to in understanding the importance of local food systems and joining the Marin Food Policy Council.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the enrichment of the teachers and staff who have lived there, and whose lives it changed, and in the excitement and wonder of the children who have visited.
More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The combination of experiential, hands-on education with the practice and theory of how food, the earth and our culture are interrelated.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Compassionate, committed, open-hearted, and smart.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Redevelop the facilities to continue to serve the Bay Area for another century.
Should this review be counted for a specific campaign?
