Each May, at our Annual Benefit, Youthlinc honors an individual or individuals who go above and beyond in humanitarian service in our community and for our organization. We would like to recognize our past Lifetime Humanitarians, and the incredible contributions they have made in their communities, and around the globe, in hopes to uplift and inspire the humanitarian in each of us.

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating our 2012 Lifetime Humanitarian, May 5th at the Natural History Museum. Please contact us for more details.
