Attending GLA was an amazing, enriching experience. Not only did I have hands-on opportunities to practice leadership skills, but the international community gave me a fun, compassionate group of friends who I could laugh with and learn from. I would definitely recommend the program to anyone; it's a great way to spend a summer!
- Sammy from USA - March 25, 2021I loved meeting people from different countries, the way the projects were introduced and how everything was conducted. I really feel I'm more independent now and that I can make decisions with more responsibility. The staff was amazing, great people, always looking forward to help. You can't miss it!!!
- Gabriel from Peru - September 13, 2022I think it was amazing because I didn't even know my skills and what I could do until I attended GLA 2022. [If you are considering attending], I would say "go for it, you won't regret it". It's because of all the skills that you get from this experience, all the moments and activities, and that at the end it helps you understand that you are a leader and can do more even if you are "too young". Powerful Youth, just keep showing young people how powerful they are and the impact and change they can make in their communities!
- Ameyali from Mexico - November 11, 2022[GLA] helped me to know more about myself, taught me how to be a good leader, and that I can challenge myself. I am very fortunate to have come to this event, so that I met a lot of people, learned a lot of things, and if I have the opportunity, I would like to go to other countries to participate in similar events.
- Yorick from Taiwan - August 29, 2022My experience was undeniably great, the staff were amazing, the participants were nice, and I learned to be more confident, kind, nice, and overall a better person and leader. I would recommend [GLA] because it made me a lot more confident and helped me value my passions, goals, and values a lot more than I valued them before. It also introduced me to the most amazing people from my country and also from countries all around the world, and I feel that it helped me to be more understanding and accepting of other ways to live and do things.
- Fernando from Brazil - August 7, 2022This experience taught me a lot of skills in leadership abilities as it's designed for, but more than that, I also gained tons of wonderful experiences that I will cherish for in the long run of my life. During this experience, I also met lots of interesting and fantastic people from all around the world and got a deeper understanding of other cultures. It was definitely a memorable experience while learning tons of new things.
