   Junior YLAT is for youth ages 11-13 who have experienced at least one 
 day of care in their lives.  It is an opportunity for youth to connect 
 with others\, learn leadership skills\, and begin to understand their te
 am that supports them while in care and beyond.  Melissa Allen\, a YLAT
  facilitator will lead the group along with several YLAT alumni who will
  act as support and mentors to the youth attending.  During the pop-up\
 , we will introduce ourselves and practice strategic sharing (learning a
 bout what parts of our story to share with others) by doing some favorit
 e YLAT activities.  Youth will also have the opportunity to learn a lit
 tle about the Youth in Care Bill of Rights and explore what Case Worker 
 and Gals' roles are concerning them.
