From: YALSA As a reminder, YALSA has resources to help you support youth, especially those who may be feeling the brunt of current events. In addition, YALSA has resources to help you promote empathy and understanding among teens, especially those in predominantly white communities who need to build global citizenship skills to be successful adults in the 21st century.
