Testimonials
I am so proud of having been a student at Evergreen College because it provides me with professional skills and knowledge. I am a Settlement Worker in one of the non-profit organizations as soon as I graduated from Evergreen College.
I was at the crossroads of my life and in the dark about my future; it was then that I discovered Evergreen. The professional education counselor provided me with useful information on career selection. I chose Community Service Worker as my future career; it was the right fit to my background and my personal interests.
With all the members help, my wings have grown stronger and I am confident that I will soar very well in the social service field.
