My Nonprofit Reviews

My family has been involved with Youthlinc for about 4 years now, myself a total of 2. I was a student on my first trip to Thailand and an assistant team leader in Nepal the next year. I really enjoyed my time with this organization, because it focuses on many different aspects of service. Yes, you get to go to a foreign country and experience the culture. Yes, you get to help people in genuine need. Yes, you get to make lasting friendships with people you would have never met otherwise. But the best part of Youthlinc is the emphasis they put on local service. Students serve for a total of 80 hours throughout the year, and 40 at a main service site somewhere in their local community. This really helps students to realize the impact they can have right in their own communities and encourages them to keep serving on a regular basis.

I also loved all of my leaders and the people I interacted with on my teams and in the Youthlinc office. They were always helping me to become my best self and to push myself to accomplish my goals. They were on top of all of our tasks and projects were able to answer our questions. Even when our plans changed before and even in county on a few instances, they were very flexible and adapted to what we needed to do. They handled everything in a professional manner.

Overall I enjoyed my experience with Youthlinc. It changed my outlook on my personal life and made me more grateful for what I had. I would recommend a Youthlinc service year experience to anyone.

Youthlinc really helped to change my perspective on life in general. It helped me to get over myself and focus not on the inward of myself but the outwards of others. When I did that, I was able to help those around me and not think of myself. Youthlinc has the best participants, mentors, and leaders anyone could ask for. They help you to become the best you, and thats all you can ask for in a humanitarian program.
