Advocate for youth is absolutely essential the advocate is a voice that is heard. More than likely this individual is in a crisis situation and needs help in order to be given the chance to become a good person in society. Even if youth has family somtimes family doesn't know how to deal with the situatin at hand. Youth is our future and if you can reach anyone it will be youth that we can change if given the proper tools.
