I volunteered with Sprout for the past three summers. I always had a great experience and I have a lot of good memories. I cannot hide that sometimes it's pretty challenging, but at the same time very rewarding. I would absolutely suggest this organization and to volunteer for them.

I volunteered with Sprout for the past two summers and it was an excellent experience. The work is sometimes challenging but definitely including lots of fun and seeing new places every day. On the other hand, the staff is friendly and helpful and always tries to find the best solution. Plus you get to meet new nice people who share similar interests which gives you the opportunity to have friends from all over the world. :)

I volunteered with Sprout for 6 weeks this summer and it was one of the best organisations I've worked with. It's a great experience to have some real responsibility as a volunteer, and learn some important life skills. It's also super fun, as you get to go on vacation all the time while you are volunteering! Sprout participants have a fantastic time, and it's great to get the chance to be a part of their holiday.

I volunteered last summer with Sprout and can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I could have asked for. Its so great to see the excitement from the participants when they are on the trips! Both the leaders and participants continue to come back every year because it is such a great experience for everyone. I would recommend Sprout to anyone with a passion of working with some wonderful individuals of all abilities!

I was a volunteer for Sprout for three Months this year. Things I remember from the trips include friendship, joy and harmony. This was an excellent way to get to know wonderful people and provide support as though I am a big sister. I realized, however, that the uniqueness that I experienced while traveling with Sprout had a positive impact on my life. Thank you to the entire Sprout team and all the participants for their kindness and great hospitality. This was a great time. I would certainly recommend people to join Sprout for life changing experiences.

I volunteered with Sprout last summer for the first time and it was easily the best volunteer experience I've ever had. I've been working with people with special needs for over 9 years and can honestly say that Sprout does the best job of eliminating the dividing line between those with disabilities and those without. Volunteers and participants were all treated with the same level of respect, and that is something that is hard to come by. I met some absolutely amazing people with Sprout, and am proud to call them friends. Love, love, love my Sprout family!!!

I have been volunteering with Sprout both in the vacation program and the NYC program for three years. This is by far the best volunteering experience I've had with any organization. The Sprout office takes great care to make sure that trips are well planned and volunteers have everything they need for an enjoyable, organized, safe, and fun trip. The clients are so much fun to work with and each trip is a different experience. I would recommend Sprout to anyone who enjoys working with people with disabilities!

I have volunteered with Sprout for the last two years and have enjoyed every single trip. The leadership is supportive and encouraging and the diversity of events are really engaging and wonderful. The most important aspect of my experience with Sprout have been my interactions with the participants. They are the most joyful, intriguing and fun people that I have met in my course of volunteer experiences and always look forward to spending time with them.
