Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Chewonki is a magical place that serves a diverse population year-round. I participated in the Maine Coast Semester, a semester-long high school program that teaches a rigorous academic curriculum centered around environmental issues and grounded by work on the salt marsh farm and research into the surrounding ecosystem. It was a turning point in my life and gave me a passion for environmental work that I still enjoy ten years later. I can't thank Chewonki enough for the fantastic work that they do.

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

the passion for environmental issues that students carry with them well after they leave.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

expand the girls camp.

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

the fantastic sense of community.

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

dynamic and engaged.

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

give more scholarships to get more diversity.

Ways to make it better...

there were a girls camp when I was younger.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

keeping that critical sense of a small community while expanding into more ambitious endeavors.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
