Young Advocates Standing Committee (YASC)
The Voice for Young Advocates
The mandate of YASC is to be a voice for advocates ten years of call or fewer by providing them with
access to a community of peers and colleagues, and a platform within the Society.
YASC organizes
networking and mentoring events, publishes articles by and for young advocates in our quarterly
newsletter, connects young advocates with
volunteer opportunities and works to ensure that
issues of concern to young advocates are addressed – both within the Society and throughout the profession at large.
