DE Projects from the Community

After graduating from the DE Program, CUDEs are charged with completing a project in their credit union or community that improves people's well-being by using the skills and knowledge they gained. We encourage you to share your story so that your fellow DEs can support your future efforts and learn from your experiences.

Prior to my graduation from the DE Program I had imagined providing a resource for the El Paso community that would prevent families from wondering how they would be able to put food on their tables. From making the choice between shelter or hunger especially for youth who require a certain amount of nutrition to grow and learn properly.

Project description and result docs from my first DE project at the Paglaum Cooperative in the Philippines. This is where I fell in love with international work!

After completing the DE program, I realized that the program was a perfect example of transformational learning in the adult learner. I wrote an academic paper about it and it was published with several other essays in a book called, "Essays on Transformational Learning."
