Voices of the Movement
From participants to facilitators, these are the stories of those who forge the future.
Everyone has a purpose in life and a unique talent to give to others. When we blend this unique talent with service, we experience the exultation of our spirit. That is why #iserve at Youth Arise Organization.
Six years ago, I walked in as a participant eager to grow. Today, I’m honored to stand on the other side as a facilitator, guiding young people through the same life-changing program! If I was told this would happen then, I wouldn't have believed it.
I was a young dreamer searching for clarity. Each session felt like a light in the fog. This year, I came back to LDTP—not as a participant—but as a workshop assistant to give back to the program that left an indelible mark on me. #iserve
Requirements to Serve
There is no typical profile for an LDTP or SALC volunteer. Each assignment is unique, and each role has its own specific expectations. What unites all our volunteers is a shared desire to serve, grow, and lead with purpose.
1. Must Be an LDTP or SALC Alumnus
You must have previously participated in LDTP or SALC. We only recruit from among alumni to ensure that every volunteer understands the flow, values, and vision of the work.
