I feel an amazing love for the Thai people and realized how easy it is to feel love for a people even if there is a language barrier. Also, I've truly grown to love serving others. It brings a happiness unlike any other.
provide more work that required many hands.
The Youthlinc organization required us to serve 80 hours in our communities before we went on our international trip. I really enjoyed serving locally and will continue to do it now that I am home.
Nothing.
my local community. I have more and more opportunities to serve because I have begun to look for opportunities to serve rather than having someone just ask me to help them.

My own life and in my community. All students are required to do 60-100 hours of service in their community before going on the trip. This allows us to serve locally and get involved with something here as a long term volunteer.

my community, each student seeking to go on a trip with youthlinc must first do 80-100 hours of local service. Having around 40 people a trip and 5 international sites, that means youthlinc contributes well over 40,000 service hours each year in the states, not including the huge amount of hours they put in at the site

This experience has taught me several new life skills, and allowed me to meet life long friends. I now know how to make cement from scratch, how to build a fence, how to spackle buildings, how to properly plant a garden, how to speak infront of a large crowd, how to make clean water anywhere I go and countless other skills

This organization has changed my career focus, and it has opened me up to new volunteer opportunities. The experiences at the local level coupled with the amazing international service trip have given me great experiences in multiple settings and in multiple functions. I developed new skills while making a positive difference in the world-wide community.
I don't know what I would change. The service trip was amazing and to make it longer would be awesome, though perhaps not practical for everyone. The organization is overall very fully-encompassing of all the needs of the groups worked with. I suppose the only change would be to add a crash course in the culture to be visited. A good basic understanding of customs and social mores might make for a smoother trip; mine was the first group to visit Bautista Grande, and there were some small hiccups at first.
Our family has always served people around us. Our adoption of an American-born Cambodian baby brought us the desire to extend that reach to those outside the US. Youthlinc has given us arms and hands to do just that. Youthlinc is LIMITLESS in their vision and desire to help others.
I would wish that the Youthlinc organization could extend beyond Utah, so that other states could experience the change that occurs within youth and the adults supporting them, as they become aware that their lives are POWERFUL and can change the lives of others profoundly.
The overwhelming opportunity it has allowed the students. They are certainly on the path of becoming "lifetime humanitarians." I have loved experiencing the transformation as they prepare for international service and also serve locally.
This is a well run program. I wouldn't change a thing.
watching my child expand her capabilities and learn what it means to serve others. She has become a true humanitarian.
There is nothing I would do to change this program except to try to expand it so that it's reach could extend to all young people who want to make a difference in the lives of others.
