Youthlinc is an amazing program that helps impoverished international villages. This year I will be going to Guatemala on a team to help kids at a school called Ak'Tenamit. Not only does Youthlinc have an incredible program for international service, but also requires a minimum of 60 hours of local service before the international trip. Through Youthlinc I have gained a love for service that will last me so much longer than just for this service trip! I now have the desire to become a lifelong humanitarian! Thank you Youthlinc for your priceless gift!

I have been involved with Youthlinc this past year preparing for my 2012 humanitarian trip to Kenya, Africa this coming Summer. I am proud to say that I have never had a greater privilege then working with the amazing staff and volunteers that makes up Youthlinc. Judy Zone, Julia Wee, and Miriam Kramer, Youthlincs only three employees, are some of the kindest and most hardworking people I have ever met and I am honored to have the privilege of calling them my friends as well as my mentors and role models. Youthlinc is an unbelievable organization with a main goal of serving other people to the best of their ability.

youthink has been a great experience. it teaches young people to go outside of themselves and think of others. it teaches how to open up to a new world of different culture and most of all it teaches that just showing you care gives others hope. i volunteer at a middle school in a underrepresented community with a book exchange program and i have never seen children so happy to own their own books. i only hope that when i go to cambodia to help that i make some kind of a difference to someone.

I heard about Youthlinc a few years ago and immediately wanted to get involved. Youthlinc was not only able to give me an opportunity to travel to Kenya and make a difference there, but it helped me realize there are plenty of places in our community that need help. Traveling to Kenya and making a difference for the people there was definitely life-changing and anyone involved will tell you the same thing. Thanks to Youthlinc and the wonderful people apart of it, I'm volunteering regularly and am now headed back to Kenya for a second time. Youthlinc is absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to anyone.

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
My volunteer experience definitely changed my outlook on life and I learned a whole bunch of new things. It's also a great place to make life long friends who believe in serving and bettering the community.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
Happiest I've ever been!!

I am a Mentor for Salt Lake County Youth Government. Many of the YouthLINC students are volunteers with our group. Our man focus is on youth homelessness. The YouthINC volunteers are reliable and effective. My oldest daughter went on a YouthLINC trip to Peru and had a life changing experience. She is a strong (6ft) woman who gets teary eyed when talking about her trip. She gets emotional in a good way. The children on her trip touched her deeply. My second daughter will be taking a service trip to Cambodia this summer. It is a relief knowing that she will be a part of a well organized group that will truly make a difference in the world.

I am a senior in high school and YouthLinc truly opened my eyes, both to the poverty in my own community and in the world. Last summer I traveled with them to Kiamuri, Kenya. We built new classrooms for their elementary schools, went out and did medical work in the community, taught english, chemistry, math, etc. Not to mention the amount of time and labor that went in to raising money to bring them educational and medical supplies. But even after all we did for them, their generosity and kindness but me to shame. YouthLinc made this incredible experience happen without any worrying on my part about the logistics of travel and lodging. I know YouthLinc has forever changed my life and I am sure all 30+ of my other team members feel the same way.

I went as a social work mentor. We did construction projects at two schools in the jungle of Thailand as well as built relationships with their students and faculty. YouthLINC is an amazing program that teaches local and international services in order to create lifetime humanitarians. This experience changed my life. To go to a country that we don't speak each others' language and learn to love, grow, play, and serve each other was incredible. The Thai people are so loving and they will forever be in my heart.

Youth linc is an incredible program because not only does youthlinc provide the opportunity to serve globally and internationally but it instills an attitude of service in daily life. Youth linc creates lifetime humanitarians in all their volunteers by having service requirements before you leave on your international trips. It truly is an outstanding program. I just arrived back from my trip to Kiamuri, Kenya 2 days and it was an unfogettable life changing experience.

The mission of Youthlinc is definently achieved! This program is the most amazing thing I have had the privilege to be apart of. To say that Youthlinc changes lives is an understatement. To describe all that Youthlinc has done is impossible.
You could start by saying this program has affected all the people in these distant lands, but you'd be forgetting about the people doing the service for them and how they have been affected. Or if you wanted to say that Youthlinc changed communities, you are missing the changed countries.
What Youthlinc has done is unbelievable, and what will be able to do is unimaginable! This program is a true blessing to all those who ever come in contact with it!!
I am a lifetime humanitarian, and it is for one reason, and one reason only! That reason is the Youthlinc organization!

The overall experience changed my outlook on my own life and made me realize things i'm truly grateful for! The whole experience was the most emotional thing I've ever done, from building the kitchen, painting a wall mural, playing with the kids at the orphanage, being interviewed in an English school, to simply playing soccer with the village kids. No matter where you are in the world or the language you speak you'll always be able to play sports and have a good time. Also, kids will always be kids and just want to play and stay young forever.

The results of this organization has changes many lives. Not only the people we go to serve but also our own lives. Trips like the Mexico 2011 taught me a lot about myself and my team became extremely close. Youthlinc develops families. I would recommend this program to everyone I know.

This was a great organization, and while in Mexico and the meetings leading to it changed my life. I hope to be a lifelong humanitarian just as the program hopes for also. I wouldn't really change anything.
