Review for Casa Verde Connects, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a member of the Governing Board I am honored to work with such a group of talented individuals that form our team. For the past year we have been working to develop Casa Verde from a dream into a reality. We believe that positive social change begins with empowering youth. At Casa Verde we offer a summer camp-style learning site in Nicaragua with hands-on tools that focus on environment, community and leadership. Currently we are focusing on our 2012 Programs for next Spring/Summer which is really exciting. I am 100% committed to supporting Casa Verde and I encourage you to check us out!!
