Panelist Jasmine Jones and Attakai Yazzi will share their expertise and discuss key policy and advocacy initiatives needed now for young people experiencing homelessness. Facilitated by Noora Almajid, Associate Director of Youth Leadership at Larkin Street Youth Services.

In order to truly solve youth homelessness, young people must be at the center of any efforts to transform the systems that impact their daily lives.

Join us for this virtual event to learn more about what is needed to end youth homelessness from two former Board Members of the Youth Advisory Board (YAB), Jasmine and Attakai. YAB is a leadership and advocacy board comprised of Larkin Street youth dedicated to informing both our direct service and systems change work through paid six-month appointments.
