No Limits for Melden ‘06
Spend a few minutes with Emily Melden '06 and you immediately feel her passion for living in a more sustainable world. Her mission and that of her company, Don’t Know Your Limit (DNTUlimit), is “to educate and motivate students to grow personally while taking responsibility for their place in the environment.”
Due to the opposite growing seasons in North and South America, Melden splits her time equally between Lima, Peru, and the North Shore of Boston.
When in the city of Lima, Melden partners with various Peruvian organizations and also runs experiential travel programs and personal development leadership programs for people eighteen and older. Excitedly, Melden says “In October 2014, Don’t Know Your Limit expanded beyond Peru and we held our first program in Columbia, South America.”
When on the North Shore, Melden runs permaculture and leadership coaching programs with her business partner, Sam. “Due to a high demand,” she says, “restorative agriculture workshops and community coaching sessions are open to the public and scheduled for two hours every Saturday in the spring. We were quite pleased. The workshops, primarily held in our Manchester, Massachusetts location, were well-attended.”

Earlier this year, Melden brought the DNTUlimit leadership program to Shore. As part of Shore’s Upper School project week, they worked with three separate groups of sixth graders and challenged them with numerous problematic scenarios. It was up to the group to figure out the solution together, trust each other, and complete the challenges. “It was thrilling to work together with these students. I’m so proud! They worked together, figured things out, and had lots of fun doing it.”
DNTUlimit designs programs that allow people to direct their own path and that inspire the healing of our planet's ecosystems by creating experiences and regenerating the environment.
