The Global Youth Leadership was an awesome experience. To see the teenagers come in the first evening, some with a look of apprehension, others overwhelmed, and others ready for the week ahead... and then after 5 days to hear them say "this should be for the whole summer", and "I don't want this to end", and see their confident faces, broad smiles, and a great outlook on their lives ahead has been the most fulfilling experience of contribution for me this year. I can't want to continue to support this organization in the years to come. Great job!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have a new understanding of teenagers at a time when we as parents need to keep up with them and find better ways to understand and communicate with them.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Promote more communication with teens during the event.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The energy involved in working with teenagers... they have a LOT of energy!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Exceptional! All coming from their hearts and all committed to the program and the participants.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Expand its reach worldwide. We need new ways to understand and communicate with teenagers... The world today is not the same as when us, the parents, grew up... we need to be able to understand, communicate, support and inspire today's youth.
Ways to make it better...
A few more pointers for new coaches
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Raising money in these times
One thing I'd also say is that...
I'll be back!
