"Attending the YALT program affirmed my passion for advocacy around children's issues, and I was inspired to see so many other young people who are eager to be involved in this work and create a better path for children. This experience with the Children's Defense Fund opened my eyes up to the many avenues young people can organize to become advocates empowering young people... and now I want to do it all!"
