Citizen Involvement -Washington DC

• GYV Quotes

  Tania Garcia, Participant says
  “I have improved my conversation and public speaking skills by engaging in discussions in my Global Music workshop, the Sharing Night Action Team, and other classes. The activities and various games led my new friends and I to have conversations and express our different points of view. GYV is a unique place where everyone is treated equal regardless of ethnicity, religion, background, and other aspects that separate people in society today.

  Janet Kaplan, Massachusetts, U.S., educator and trainer says
  “After working at Legacy's Global Youth Village, I noticed that my style had changed in and outside the classroom. I gained confidence in setting up a culture of mutual respect and discovery in the classroom, and became more willing to initiate change in the larger school community. The year-round staff at Legacy also gave me the sense that what I took from Legacy was not in excess of what I offered.”
