Quarterly Advocate

YLAT and Community Mentoring have joined together to produce a newsletter for mentors, youth in care and care providers. The two newsletters, previously known as "Be Yourself" and "Community Mentoring," have combined to create "The Quarterly Advocate." This newsletter will address issues concerning youth in care, members of the Community Mentoring and YLAT communities, and care providers.
