My Nonprofit Reviews

Orca Network, based on Whidbey Island, Washington State, aims to promote awareness of whales and environmental issues concerning them through educational workshops and other social networking media. Their sightings organization enables not only people to see whales from shore, but also advises researchers of the whales' whereabouts so that valuable information can be obtained through specimens and photo identification. Orca Network's approach to helping the public learn more about whales and raising awareness of the fragile status of the endangered southern resident killer whales, is educational yet friendly. Orca Network's workshops and presentations are always first rate, introducing a wide variety of knowledgeable presenters. To be a volunteer with them is a pleasure - they make a person feel valued and of worth in helping with any aspect of the organization. Many people have had their first sighting of a whale through this network, and as anyone knows, seeing a whale for the first time is a life-changing experience - for the better. More people then become ambassadors for the whales.
