Review for Youthlinc, Salt Lake City, UT, USA
I have never felt as loved as I did while serving in Kajuki, Kenya with Youthlinc. I was absolutely amazed by the kindness, compassion and immense love every single person gave us throughout our journey. The children's bright eyes taught us about faith, the community's giving nature taught us about warm international hospitality, and their country taught us that it is more important to live simply than to simply live.
In Kenya, love isn't just a four letter word either, it is a way of life. Everything someone did for another was because of the love they held for humanity. I was absolutely honored to be surrounded by such an overwhelming emotion and to be able to return the love they had invested in me.
We all see poverty, malnutrition and hardship in the news every day, but nothing compares to actually seeing it in with your own eyes - that's when it becomes reality. Youthlinc was able to teach me how to understand my purpose as a informed global citizen and what I can actually do to help make and inspire change. I am so blessed to have been given this opportunity to be a part of such an unbelievable organization and inspiring community!

Youthlinc was very well-organized, engaging and fun to be a part of! The organization is always reaching out to its local community, especially because it requires its volunteers to complete local service hours. I can't think of anything Youthlinc hasn't already thought of, they really are amazing!
