I went to a Cultivate Youth trip when I was 15, and it really did change my life.
During my time there, I was able to expand my talents and connect with others who didn't come from the same background as me. I was able to learn how to build and forge stronger connections with my friends, and bringing those principles that I learned there back home with me has really changed my life. I still think about it often, and it really was an awesome experience.

Our hosts, Greg and Victoria were amazing. We enjoyed being on Lake Atitlan and all the things we were able to do, and we came away with amazing attitudes.
It's nice to have really focused on gratitude and wanting what we have. So I feel like that's been really helpful coming back and we really enjoyed our time there and just loved Guatemala and that experience so much.

My son went to a Youth trip in Guatemala.
Two months after the trip, we were in the car going to serve somebody, and he looked me in the eye and he said "Hey, Mom, you like to serve people, don't you?" And I was so amazed that he even noticed, because he had never noticed me as an individual or a human being before.
And it helped me to see him different. It helped me to see that he can have those relationships in his life, and he can notice people in a different way. And he still does. I'm just so grateful for that trajectory that Cultivate helped him to see people differently.
