“The Youth Advisory Council is a platform and space for aged out-of-care youth to share their perspectives, insights, and suggestions related to the Independent Living Program and Foster Care. A lot of the discussions surround youth-voiced topics or interests. Dane County follows a 5 pillar model within YAC; health, education, housing, employment, finances, and community involvement. These pillars were decided by local YAC members and the purpose is to bring resources and knowledge from these categories to YAC.”
-Pricilla Reyes, YAC Facilitator
