Youth Action Team Network

Youth Leadership & Action YAT Network

Youth Leadership and Action is a youth empowerment and substance abuse prevention initiative that trains, supports and encourages Youth Action Teams to become active change agents in their communities. GUIDE, Inc. supports Youth Action Teams through on-going training events, staff support and technical assistance, service opportunities and ideas, and financial support for general operations. In addition, the Youth Leadership and Action program provides training, service, and funding opportunities to external youth groups across the metro Atlanta area.
