What is Jr. YLAT?

​

Jr. YLAT is a chance for young people who have experienced foster care to meet one another, learn about important resources, develop skills and build connections to supportive adults. While our traditional YLAT meeting start at age 14, Jr. YLAT is for youth as young as 11.

We have “pop-up” groups across Maine with hands-on games, activities and team-builders. Our meetings are places to learn more about yourself and foster care and get connected to peers.
