YASI has 3 key components

(1) Workshops conducted by some of the City’s most knowledgeable organizers, lawyers and advocates, introducing the corps to advocacy, communication and problem-solving;

(2) Community Outreach where our corps members provide information and advice to their community members about issues, including how to access health insurance, where to find free and low-cost medical clinics, where to obtain legal representation, and how to access healthy food; and

(3) The development of Personal Advocacy Campaigns, which the corps members bring back to their communities and sustain beyond the summer.
