My Nonprofit Reviews

Project Nature Connect is the original education and advocacy work for ecopscyhology. They have decades of service educating though higher education opportunities that they make accessible through scholarship. I have degrees from other R1 institutions and I appreciate the freedom of scientific exploration without the confines or traditional academia. I believe that to explore novel topics, there needs to be the ability to go in all directions including inner work and learning through personal experience. The value of personal experience is often rejected from the scientific method because of bias. However, when you are exploring a concept that is deeply personal and has no established theoretical framework, it is driven by curiosity from personal experience. The great historical thinkers did not study something because it was already established by someone else. They did it because they were curious. Big problems such as climate change cannot be solved in an academic box. I also appreciated the opportunity to conduct doctoral projects that were both case study and research project-oriented. My experience was one that felt supported and had a level of depth that I had not known previously.

Strides to Success is a safe place to explore life. I have never felt safer! The horses provide such unconditional love and support!! Great staff!!
