Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Maine Coast Semester transformed my son from a shy and self-conscious young man to a thriving, passionate and happy one. The power of a natural environment, work in the outdoors, camaraderie of a group committed to learning and protecting its environment is about the most sustaining approach to sustaining our environment imaginable. The experience Maine Coast offers cultivates passionate custodians of our planet who are empowered and motivated to make a difference for the rest of their lives. At the Harvest Feast that the students prepared for visiting parents, I was amazed to learn that every other parent observed the same flourishing transformation in his or her child.

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

My son's continuing interest and dedication to preserving and interacting with our natural environment.

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

Do exactly the same as its current leadership and try to make clones of itself.

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

How incredibly capable, responsible and grounded it is.

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

extraordinarily dedicated and generally speaking the best I've ever encountered.

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

mold the next generation's understanding and commitment to the vital importance of sustaining our earth so it can sustain us.

Ways to make it better...

Could not have been better.

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

Raising money so it can accommodate more students and offer more scholarships.

One thing I'd also say is that...

Maine Semester is without a doubt one of the greatest experiences a young person could have.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2004

Role:  General Member of the Public & I sent my son to Maine Coast Semester fall 2004.
