Review for Rainforest Partnership, Austin, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been volunteering with Rainforest Partnership since Aug 2009 and it has been an incredible experience! It is not every day that you come across people who are not only passionate and highly enthusiastic but are actually working towards protecting tropical rainforests. This organization has given me the chance to make a difference to the lives of people in Ecuador and Peru – the two communities they currently serve. Recognizing that the primary threat to rainforests is economic- they work hard to create sustainable economic development alternatives to deforestation. Their motto is : “Be nice! Have fun! Make a difference!” and they really do!

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

The energy of the staff and volunteers and a positive working atmosphere.

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

The staff - Niyanta and Maurine and great to work for. Their passion towards preserving rainforests and a keen interest to improve the quality of life of the communities motivates me to volunteer at RP.The volunteers are talented,hardworking and committed

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

Successfully undertake and implement projects to save more acres of rainforests and support the indigenous communities. Also set up national and international chapters and do more events to educate people.
