Review for Conservation Legacy, Durango, CO, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

My experience with SCC started over two years ago when I volunteered for the Education and Outreach program. Over the course of that year I worked in several communities in Southwest Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico as a crew member, youth mentor and a crew leader. The main focus of the work is always toward positive youth development through the vehicle of contracts with land management agencies. The following year I moved in to a staff position but the focus of my work remained the same. SCC is a great non-profit for several reasons, but I would consider their greatest strength lying in the personal touch that each person brings with them. The staff have always gone above and beyond in regard to their commitment to improving other peoples lives.

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

both my personal and professional lives. Working and living with so many people made me look at my role in the various communities I'm involved with and re-evaluate how I can fulfill my own goals. It also gave me the opportunity for meaningful work.

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

the opportunity to connect with such a variety of people from so many backgrounds, cultures and beliefs.

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

personal, outdoorsy and generally really nice.
