Review for Youthlinc, Salt Lake City, UT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

In 2008, the summer after I graduated high school, I went with YouthLinc to Santa Rosa, Peru, where we built a school, set up a medical and dental clinic, and taught health and hygiene classes. The experience was unforgettable. YouthLinc focuses on making personal connections within the community we served, so not only did we have the opportunity to see the huge needs that exist in other parts of the world, but also to learn from the values and examples of the local culture. YouthLinc also requires each volunteer to do extensive volunteer work in their own communities, helping us learn that there are always opportunities to serve meaningfully, whether at home or abroad.

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

being more aware of the needs that exist in my own community and abroad in the world, and a greater desire to serve, and the connections to do so.

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

create more connections for service for alumni.
