Review for Conservation Legacy, Durango, CO, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

This experience challenged me in ways that still allow me to grow and achieve new heights in my life, 5 years later. The very nature of the challenging work as well as the personal interactions have pushed me beyond my limits more than I could have possibly imagined. The work keeps getting more interesting and inspiring - We've come along way and grown so fast, the dynamics of the program keep expanding... With expansion comes a sort of mass production. There are pros and cons to it - pros being that our program works in the most beautiful remote places in the southwest. The work being offered is more meaningful and diverse. The cons being that I feel to a certain degree that SCC has lost the personal touch.

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

Personal results include goal setting and achievement/ physical endurance/ learning the ins & outs of office politics - occupational therapy!

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

The connection with the natural world and the respect for a sustainable community

varied - from brillant to baffling, bashful to bizarre, buoyant but hardly ever boring
