Review for Youthlinc, Salt Lake City, UT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I learned about YouthLINC at the 2007 Rotary International Convention in Salt Lake City and thought it would be a good fit for my Rotary Club in Rochester, MN. The Board agreed and I had the priviledge of being part of the first YouthLINC MN team in 2007/2008, doing local community service as well as service work in Kiamuri, Kenya. It was an amazing experience! We are now working with our fourth team from MN; this year they will travel to Bautista Grande, MX with the Utah team. The relationship with YouthLINC has been fantastic - everyone there is amazing to work with and they're allowing our students and mentors to have an experience that otherwise is not available in our state. Kudos to YouthLINC - you guys ROCK!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Gaining a new perspective on community and a greater understanding and appreciation for life here and half-way across the world.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Help them further expand the programs beyond Utah -- all students should have this opportunity!!

Role:  Volunteer & mentored students as they performed local community service and on an international service experience where we built a classroom, taught lessons, held a health fair, etc.
