Do you have access to useful resources? Share them with other newcomer youth advocates from across Canada! One of the fun parts of being part of a network is sharing your knowledge with others, and the Shared Youth Resource Library, a constantly growing collection of resources that are added by members and allies, is a tool for sharing that knowledge. In this shared library, you can browse by category to find the resources that you need, upload your own resources to the site, or comment on other people's resources to share ideas on how to use them.
