Hello,

Having been fortunate to both live overseas and travel extensively in my life, I wanted to get involved with an organization locally in Utah that helps people both in our local communities as well as gives youth from Utah and opportunity to travel abroad and help people in other countries.  

Youthlinc is a non-profit that does both of these things.  Their Real-Life program organizes local high school and college age volunteers to work with local refugee communities.  Their Service Year program organizes teams of youth to both volunteer locally but also go on an international service year trip to countries like Vietnam, Thailand, or Kenya.

I have been on the board of Youthlinc for the last 2 years and have been extremely impressed with their programs and impact in the community and overseas.

Youthlinc needs a new building to support their programs.  They have used donated space for the first 18 years of their existence but are now paying office rental fees that are too high and taking away from their programs.  Please join me in making a contribution to support their capital campaign.

Click here to donate.  Or you can also send a check to the Youthlinc office: 1166 Brickyard Road, SLC UT 84106 and write my Capital Campaign and my name in the memo. 

Youthlinc has grown steadily for 20 years, widening and deepening our impact in the community. And there is so much more to do. 

We've relied on donated office space till just a few years ago. With all our programs, participants, and staff we have reached a place at our 20th anniversary where we need a home of our own - a place that belongs to the thousands of Utah families and young people we've impacted, and a place dedicated to the thousands of lives we will touch in the future. 

We are asking our Youthlinc family-all of our program donors, Service Year mentors, alum parents and students who have long recognized Youthlinc's role in creating lifetime humanitarians - and those who are now recognizing our impact in this state - to dig deep and partner with us in this efforts. Youthlinc is a 501c3. Your donations are tax deductible. For more info visit www.youthlinc.org/capitalcampaign
