I chose the Christodora organization, they are located In the Bronx, Manhattan and Massachusetts. Christodora is a Non-profit organization that is based on nature conservation and helping inner city children get a feel for nature and how to be away of the natural environment and to keep Earth green. So I interviewed this non-profit organization through via email to a woman named Judith Rivkin who is the executive director of Christodora. Judith had worked for other non-profit organizations but didn’t have her desired position until encountering Christodora with prior experience in management. The proudest moment that Judith has had she said ‘ My proudest moments are when students or their families tell us that we have made a positive difference in their lives.” Judith’s main job description is to carry out a strategic set of tasks to run by Board of Directors and raising funds for the programs that are intertwined with Christodora as well as maintaining a balance in each aspect of the programs activities so that Christodora is functioning as a whole. Overall this was Judith’s last job and will retire in a few years but this is her dream job and didn’t give up to get to her goals. Judith emphasizes that ‘Christodora stresses the 3Rs with our students: Respect- respect yourself so that you can also respect others. Responsibility- be responsible to yourself and to your team. Risk – learn how to assess risks and take green light positive risks in your life, do what’s necessary to meet yellow light challenging risks, and steer clear of Red light negative risks.” In life we should all take risks but with proper guidance and responsibility as well as outside support to help us make perfect life decisions to affect ourselves and those around us positively. Christodora is a major learning experience with learning during camping trips, going to saturday and sunday to New York Botanical Garden NYC (New Youth Conservationists) programs to help middle school students to be exposed to nature and science/plant based experiments. But these programs help students succeed at critical thinking, problem solving and communications skills during an emergency, or being the leader of the hiking group for a day, or being in an office trying to express your opinions and facts in a respectful straight to the point manor. Most importantly, the reason that lead me to choose this organization is that Christodora helps the students to step out of their comfort zone and try new things and succeed. Once you have taken that step to get out in the world and explore, you can go anywhere.
