My experiences with Youthlinc have re-affirmed my belief that humans can support each other across cultures and continents, that we are all in this together and that we can build relationships on profound levels by working together. Service is the path to true human connection.” --Vivian Shell, 2011 Cambodia Team Mentor

We have specific Expectations for all our mentors, so be sure to familiarize yourself with the role Youthlinc expects you to take before applying.
