Our teams are hard at work preparing for their international projects!

Each team member plays a vital role in a Business, Cultural, Vocational, Ecological, Educational, or Community Health committee. Over the next few months, they’ll plan, prep, and practice their lessons - ensuring they’re ready to teach, serve, and connect with the communities they visit.

Check out this video from @siennacwheeler for a behind-the-scenes look at her committee work!

MARCH IMPACT MODULE

We wanted to take a moment to highlight our Module 4! This month, we’re diving into an important topic for all who are passionate about serving others: Sustainability vs.
Handouts! In this module, we look at the critical differences between short-term handouts and long-term, sustainable solutions.

Having meaningful discussions about themes like this helps make sure we are truly serving in a way that leaves positive, lasting impact.

SERVICE HOUR SPOTLIGHTS!

A core part of the Youthlinc Service Year is giving back LOCALLY before serving internationally. Each humanitarian dedicates at least 80 hours to local service, with 40 of those hours spent consistently at a Main Service Site - building relationships and becoming a relied upon volunteer.

Today, we’re celebrating six outstanding humanitarians who have already completed or are close to completing their service hours!

⭐️ JETT WEETER
⭐️ ADAM COURCIMAULT
⭐️ EMILY ARVIZO-OLIVARES
⭐️ SAMANTHA BLUMENTAL
⭐️ ADDI ALLEN
⭐️ REESE PHILLIPS

All of our humanitarians’ hard work and commitment to service is inspiring, and we can’t wait to see how they continue to grow as leaders both locally and internationally! Keep up the amazing work!
