Mission Statement
YouthLINC exists to instill a humanitarian service ethic in youth.
- We link local and international service through sponsorships which participants earn.
- We partner locally and internationally with organizations and individuals to invest in the humanitarianism of youth.
- We mentor young people in a school year of service education, building teams of professionals and students.
- We create service leaders who work to better communities here and abroad and who are empowered to make a difference in the world.
"Community service is powerful. For the large majority of people who live in their own worlds, experiencing first hand the needs in one's own community and in the rest of the planet is awakening. Because of the YouthLINC program, I have become more grateful for what I have, I consciously strive to expect less material things for myself., and I look to make a difference -- because I can!"
