I cannot express how much the U.S. YAC UNOD has improved my capacity to lead others in an empathetic manner. Everywhere I am asked about leadership qualities or skills, I always mention empathy as a skill set because of the US YAC’s ability to effectively communicate how we should interact with our peers given our ever-expanding backgrounds in a constantly changing world.

I’m super appreciative of all of the opportunities I have been given, and I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for the US YAC UNOD.
