YOUTH ADVOCATES
DA Youth Advocates is a non-profit youth organization in Blythewood/Columbia, South Carolina, started by Anthony B. Williams a US Navy Retired Disable Veteran with a BA degree in Social Work and 16 years in the behavior intervention/modification and youth advocacy profession. Carrie (medically retired nurse) is the co-founder; she has been assisting in saving the youth along side of Anthony, DA Youth Advocates was once Hot Dog and Talk founded in Virginia Beach VA 2005.
DA Youth Advocates used community recreation centers, in home visits and library forums to curve youth taste for trouble and to build self-esteem, improve behaviors and social/emotional skills. Talks and activities are always geared to improve the community as a whole with the idea of if the child improves behavior, improve self-esteem, self-love and knowledge of self the community will be a better place to live in the future.
We intend to save and advocate for as many youth as we can by providing mentor/advocacy services, behavior modification/intervention, environment management, improving social and soft skills. Some children that we support come from dysfunctional communities, suffer from like of social/soft skills and impulse behaviors.
