Meet the Team Leader

Rebecca Burton

Becky in Kenya

Rebecca is proud to go down in history as the first student to ever sign up for the YouthLINC program. Since her first trip with YouthLINC to Kenya eight years ago, Rebecca has remained an active member of the international community both here and abroad. After returning from that first expedition to Kenya, Rebecca went on to volunteer in orphanages in Ecuador, study French in Switzerland, teach English to children in France and go back to Kenya as the YouthLINC alum leader and stay to volunteer at a children's center and conduct site visits. Locally she has interacted with refugees and immigrants as an ESL teacher, mentored international students at the University of Utah as a student ambassador, and interpreted for international film directors at the Sundance Film Festival.

She graduated from the University of Utah in International Studies and Linguistics in 2005. Currently she works with the SLC Film Center to program their African Film Series and was recently hired as the Local Service Coordinator for YouthLINC.
