Review for Ethels Tree Of Life Inc, Kittery Point, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I've accompanied a group of Ethel's Tree of Life students on a day skiing and saw one young lady who was reluctant to ski, relax, gain confidence, and enjoy the experience as she earned high praise from the instructor. By the end of her lesson, she was beaming with pride in her new skill. I also worked in the youth employment program the summer of 2009 and saw students living with significant disabilites gain skills and confidence as the program progressed. Several came out of their shells, as they learned new skills both in independent living and in employment skills. The Job Club, run this spring and summer by volunteers offered similar opportunities to more students. It's great to see these young people build their confidence as they build their skills!

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

watching these young people grow as they develop new skills and new confidence.

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

seeing the way it's helped young poeple who are living with various disabilities, offering them experiences they otherwise would not have.

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

dedicated and caring people.

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

provide more opportunities for even more students, offer jobs as well as job training to students, purchase a building for our headquarters, and provide our director with a decent salary and health benefits.
