In the course of their work, YPAs are also promoting constructive advocacy at all levels, modeling and mentoring young people in those same skills. YPAs are individuals between 18 and 30 years of age who have self-identified as a person who has first-hand experience with social, emotional, medical, developmental, substance use, and/or behavioral challenges.
