Loads of generosity at YMCA

Dec 7, 2021

Although my experience was rather brief, It was a pleasure working with YMCA, learning about the program and it's workers, and being able to meet all of those involved with the program. They made us feel like a part of a family even though our time in the program was short. Being a part of the schools in Colombia was also a beautiful experience, especially when it came to meeting all the teachers, staff, and students. It was first experience teaching, and I feel it will perhaps be my most memorable one.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The first moment when we taught with the Colombian children was nerve wrecking, but eventually I became accustomed to and enjoyed assisting with English and exchanging my culture.

Impactful and inspiring

Oct 21, 2021

It is very impressive that they always keep the values at the forefront. It's also a very reassuring feeling to know that they will always support you. They listen to you all the time and try to help. It is very impressive that they are guiding and instructive. The human centered programs are providing fun and giving you a unique experience. It is a very well-organized and well-planned organization in all its details. it won't be long before you'll feel like one of family members because they'll be doing their best to make you feel that way.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Everything was perfect just i would try to do everything same to get this precious experience again.

CoLeader GOAT experience

Oct 20, 2021

I spent a year in this program and it was the best experience of my life. I got to learn about culture, develop my Spanish skills, meet new people and build an everlasting relationship with them all. I definitely felt like I built a family with the YMCA and just Colombian people in general. This is a really immersive program and people should take an opportunity to explore yourself and enhance the ability to understand others. The YMCA of Colombia gave me so much opportunity to grow in myself and, most importantly, with others. Love you Colombia. Ósea una chimba. Ósea chevere.

What was your funniest moment?
Being with students from different schools and really learning about Spanish lingo and the Colombian culture. Students are hilarious. Despite a minor language boundary, we both understood each other and our jokes, etc.
