Leadership Academy

The Bay Area Leadership Academy (BAYLA) is part of the leadership development programming of California Youth Connection, a statewide youth-led advocacy organization that provides a transformative experience for current and former foster youth ages 14-24 who in turn transform the foster care system through targeted legislative and policy advocacy. BAYLA is an integral part of CYC’s overall investment in foster youth leadership.
