The Young Leaders and Advocates Network is a statewide network run for and by young people with disabilities. YLAN is dedicated to uniting and empowering young people across the state. We ensure young people are authentically and meaningfully involved in all decisions that affect us. Together, we change systems so young people get the support they need with the respect and dignity they deserve.
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Albany, NY, our specialties include: Advocacy, Youth Voice, Youth Leadership, Technical Assistance, Empowerment, Disability Advocacy, and Cross-Systems Advocacy
