Empower Themselves: YAC participants will empower themselves through participation in an educational and confidence-building curriculum, as well as through various public speaking opportunities promoting self-advocacy. 2018 Partnership with Story Corps In 2018 the Youth Advisory Council partnered with Story Corps to become trained in storytelling and conducting interviews.
