Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Chewonki Foundation has changed my perspective completely. After Maine Coast Semester, I have developed a sense of how to live functionally in a small community. I am more aware of sustainability and environmental issues. Almost every decision I make on a day-to-day basis is influenced by ideas that I learned at Chewonki.

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

the faces of my friends and classmates! Everyone who has gone has been sincerely influenced in some form.

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

continue to run it the way it has been run. I would look to improve the technologies and would hope to make the knowledge even more available than it is now

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

the way that the foundation brings together caring, hardworking people who all share common goals. These people then use their passion to spread their knowledge and help others.

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

unbelievable, engaging, confident, kind people.

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

help thousands more people become aware--- of themselves and of the environment

Ways to make it better...

I had stayed for a longer period of time.

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

finding continued funding during this economic crisis.

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

CHEWONKI IS GREAT!
