How it all started
YLAAT started as a way to help young girls master their special abilities and skills and utilize them to better help in the community. It was our goal to help troubled young girls discover new creative outlets and skills as a way to help navigate through emotional challenges. We wanted to offer our youth a different and more positive way of handling situations to better prepare them for their lives ahead.

“You can’t BE what you don’t SEE”
(Marian Wright Edelman). We practice this quote by making sure that the young ladies see women that look like them in their future careers as guest speakers, in our facilitators and in our social events.
