My name is Aya Sleilaty and I was a delegate at the PALS in Georgetown during the summer of 2023. It was an amazing experience. One I don't believe many people can find anywhere. I was surprised after the summit at the amount of things I had learned. I learned new information relating everything from how to apply to colleges to ways I can improve my mental health. It is one of the most inclusive and unique opportunities I got to experience and I recommend everyone to at least try and go to one of the summits once. Lastly, I was able to create so many new friendships during a short amount of time, proving how easily it was to open up to the delegates and counselors and build a small family!!!

As someone who is usually introverted around others, I was shocked to see how the friendliness and open-mindedness of those at PALS truly allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. I will never regret attending the program; not only has it improved my social skills so much both directly and indirectly, but it also taught me so many lessons about the world around me and life in general through the many workshops and activities it has to offer. It was the first time I shared a dorm with someone, and it was definitely a good experience to have before I start college. The staff and counselors are so nice and never hesitate to answer any questions you may have, and are more than willing to have conversations and give advice to the PALS delegates. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would recommend anyone who is available this summer to seize this wonderful opportunity and attend.

This was one of the best experiences in my life and I don't think I will ever forget it. The counselors and staff were so welcoming and it was nice to make a couple of new friends as well!

I've been with NVEEE since 2021 and it has truly made a difference. I loved being a counselor and I loved making a connection with everyone who I've encountered. Pals and palp has provided me with many friendships and has tremendously helped me break out my shell. I owe it all to NVEEE

Since middle school, I've always been living in a cycle of going to school and staying at home, repeat. But when I entered high school, I realized that something had to change. I was living in a community that I knew nothing about and have been staying in circles that are familiar to me. I'm lucky enough to have found this organization in the summer before freshman year. Since I joined NVEEE (National Voices for Equality, Education, and Enlightenment), I have met so many new people and learned about so many different stories. I've learned so much from my mentors and get to work alongside the Executive Director, Jowharah Sanders. This allows us to get advice and guidance from an experienced activist. Through the Peace Ambassador Leadership Program, I am able to collaborate with teens my age from all over Florida and the country. I've cultivated my leadership skills through reenactments and workshops. My favorite part of the program is the service projects. When I joined, I wanted to learn about my community and create change, and the PALP program gave me the resources to do just that. I also value the summer program, PALS, which allows students to stay at college campuses and engage in a multitude of activities. I will never forget the memories and lessons I've learned through this non-profit.

When I went to PALS in 2022 I felt isolated and lonely, especially coming up after covid. Going to PALS was one of the most life-changing experiences for me. I felt as if I had found a place where I could unapologetically be myself. The staff made sure that I never felt lonely and constantly pushed me to come out of my comfort zone. The environment created was one of safety and one of a loving community. I got to meet so many people I would not have met otherwise network with people from across the globe and made friends that have stuck with me through thick and thin. Friendships that have changed my life. After participating in PALS for multiple years I went from someone who would shake, feel nausea, and cry when I would have to present something or talk to new people to being the person to go up to the anxious people getting other people out of their shell.
