don’t think I would be where I am in life right now if it weren’t for NYA. I have traveled so much since I was a participant, and what I’ve learned at NYA can be incorporated into my every day life. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to travel and learn and grow as a person!

Colleen, Canadian Program Participant

Through NYA I have become a better leader and person. I have learned that teamwork is important as well as individuality. Dedicating my volunteerism to improving the lives of others has become very appealing to me; it has inspired me to making positive changes in my community and culture.

Jacqueline, Canadian & International Program Participant

I am forever grateful for NYA and the people behind it. The program helped me expand my horizon, explore new places in Canada and overseas and develop practical skills that I continue to use in my life today. NYA taught me that volunteering is valuable, rewarding and builds a sense of community.

Being part of Northern Youth Abroad has opened my eyes on many levels; I have made long-term friendships, gained valuable skills, and also essential life skills. NYA has prepared me for college in so many ways.
