Review for Youthlinc, Salt Lake City, UT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I went to Kenya the summer of 2008. It was an experience that changed my perspective not only on the world, but myself. Youthlinc may only be a two-week trip, and yes, we may not accomplish very much. But what is accomplished is a foundation in young people's lives to serve. I have always loved doing community service but have rarely looked beyond my own community. Youthlinc opened my eyes to look beyond and to not be afraid to change the world. I learned that as an individual I still can make a difference, as a student I can teach, as a woman I can show other women to be strong, as an american citizen I can improve lives. Youthlinc gave me the chance to realize my potential-something I will always be grateful for.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

amazing, to say the least. Individuals who are so unique and have so much to offer to this world. Individuals who realize that although, they themselves might not have much, they still have more than others. Individuals who genuinely just want to help.
