Review for Youthlinc, Salt Lake City, UT, USA
My Husband and I have now been on 10 international service trips with Youthlinc. We served as the Medical Mentors on all but the last trip since I am an RN and my husband a Pediatrician. We have served in Kenya four times, Mexico, Peru, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and this past June/July to Nepal. All were exciting, interesting, fulfilling and hard work! The best part is observing the students experience a new and very different culture, meet and work with people and other students not knowing their language while learning how to travel so far from home. For me, these trips have been life changing experiences that make me value how others cultures live and how lucky I am. These trips are well organized and do all that is possible to make these trips safe, meaningful and life changing for the students. Guess that says it all in a nutshell!
Review for Youthlinc, Salt Lake City, UT, USA
YouthLinc promotes involving HIgh School & College youths in community service with the additional reward of international service. I have been the nurse/mentor for 8 trips including Mexico, Peru, Thailand, Cambodia & Kenya. It is such a pleasure to observe the changes that occur in the students as they prepare for these experiences, deal with foreign travel, strange customs and foods. There are building projects, health & education classes developed and taught to the in-country students and/or their families, fund raising, Fun & Health Fairs. Students are selected in November and meet monthly until departure. Community hours of service must be completed before leaving the USA. A great opportunity for all concerned.

Review for Youthlinc, Salt Lake City, UT, USA
YouthLINC offers outstanding opportunities for young adults to experience humanitarian service in their own communities as well as in other parts of the world. I enjoy observing these young adults as they learn to adapt to new customs & living situations in foreign places. One student is now on her way to graduate school in International Studies based on her experiences with YouthLINC. Another is on her way to med school.
