Review for Natural Resources Defense Council Inc, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I worked with NRDC in my capacity as an employee of another environmental organization and found them to be one the most effective national green groups. They have sound strategy and a powerful network of spokespeople, which enables them to get things done. A very savvy operation.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

very sharp, better understood how to use the media to get their message out than many other environmental groups.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I spent more than two years working for Horton's Kids. It's extremely well run and is making a major difference in the lives of at-risk kids. I found it incredibly rewarding. The program is quickly expanding, now helping its students receive essential services like dental care, in addition to tutoring.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the way it gives students a chance to learn and have fun.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

I really bonded with my student, Trymel, over the course of two years.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

terrific. The volunteers get together for happy hour every week after tutoring, and it's a great chance to make friends.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

make a world of difference. It's already begun expanding its services beyond tutoring to medical and dental care, emergency clothing and shoes, and many other services.
