My Nonprofit Reviews

Youthlinc was an amazing organization that gave me an experience I'll never forget. I went to Kenya and got to meet people and see and do things I don't normally get to do.
Even though international service is way important, Youthlinc is big on local service. Before any student is allowed to go to their international site, they have to do 80 hours of community service, with at least 40 of those being at the same place. They do this to help build ties to our community and to the people we serve. I got the opportunity to serve at the Boys and Girls Club for my main service site and it was a great experience for me. I got to get used to working with kids and keeping them entertained which was super beneficial to me in Kenya.
We had meetings every month which also helped us to bond as a team and work together. Some other organizations don't meet each other until they arrive at the site. To me, getting to know the people I would be spending 2 weeks with in a foreign county beforehand was crucial to my experience. We all had a great time and got to see and do amazing things.
Youthlinc makes sure you get your immunizations and has a doctor there who works alongside you instead of just being there.
10/10 would go again!
