My Nonprofit Reviews

As Director of Environmental Education for a PA agency, improving the environmental literacy of the all Pennsylvanians is a major priority. In this role, I have had the fortunate opportunity to work with the Stroud Water Research Center on a variety of projects and initiatives. Collaborating with Stroud and other agencies and organizations as part of the PA Environmental Literacy Task Force, Stroud has proven to be a valuable partner in the work of this task force. Their professional staff are well informed in the latest trends in environmental education, continually shows a willingness to go above and beyond and have been a leader within this collaboration. Stroud Water Research Center also has shown that they are quite talented in procuring grants and delivering outstanding programs with the use of these funds. I know this first-hand, as Stroud is an active participant in a grant program manged by this office. Their projects have shown creativity and have done a remarkable job in reaching under-served communities. Currently PA is undergoing a revision in the environment and ecology standards for public education. Steve Kerlin has demonstrated excellent leadership in this difficult process. I have also have closely worked with other staffers (Mandy Nix and Tara Muenz) that bring a dynamic presence to these projects. My interactions with the Stroud Water Research Center have all been positive as they contribute mightily to improving environmental literacy within Pennsylvania.
