I had an amazing first experience here. Jake made everything easy with clear instructions & a smooth workflow. As an introvert, I felt surprisingly comfortable, made friends with the other volunteers, the people from the social events, i danced, & created memories I'll never forget. Living in Seoul was incredible, & I enjoyed exploring on my free days. Even when I got sick, Jake made sure everyone was cared for. I relearned quality assurance, procedures, feedback, & content creation. This experience was truly worth it, & I'd happily join the social events again - they were so much fun!!!

I had a n amazing time with this experience, especially the volunteers are kind. I met even more people trhough the social activities and parties. Jake values your ideas and is very approachable if you need anything. As a first solo volunteering experience I appreciate this opportunity because you can easily meet friends and learn about social media and app-group management.

Jente was always proactive and willing to help. She frequently checked in to see if I needed any assistance and genuinely tried her best to support me and our community. She also made a great effort to build and maintain good relationships with the people around her.

Unfortunately, I was extremely busy and missed the deadline to leave her a review. I really appreciate her efforts and contributions during her time with us, and I wish her all the best in her future adventures!

It was a really amazing experience. Before arriving, he clearly explained all the working conditions and what to expect, so there were absolutely no surprises. Everything was even better than I expected. Jake is very easy to communicate with and always willing to help.I met with new people, made great friends, and spend a lot of fun time together. This was my first volunteering experience, but definitely not my last. I'm really happy that Jake was the person I had this experience with. I would definitely recommend volunteering with him. I m hoping to See u next year 🙏🏻🙏🏻
