Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My experience at Chewonki as a high school student was the most formative time of my life thus far. Everything that I have done since has been at least in part driven by the interests and passions that Chewonki helped me to uncover. My dedication to sustainable living and my career in environmental stewardship and conservation are both the result of the model that Chewonki set for me.

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

training individuals to become environmental stewards and leading the way with sustainability initiatives and technology

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

everything! I have been so impressed with every facet of what the Chewonki Foundation does.

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

incredible - intelligent, passionate, committed and kind

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

Increase financial aid to enhance their commitment to making their services accessible to low-income families and students, make a larger imprint on the surrounding community and do more on regional sustainability and conservation initiatives. From what I know of Chewonki's drive and leadership, the question is rather, what couldn't they do!

Ways to make it better...

I don't think anything could have made it better.

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

Financial - for Chewonki to advance to the next step and continue achieving such great heights, the biggest challenge is the financing.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2000

Role:  Professional with expertise in this field & I attended the Maine Coast Semester program at Chewonki and volunteered for their injured animal rehabilitation unit.
