Do teens like us ATLs?

Teens look up to the ATLs in the community! In fact, here are some of the things they have to say:

"I think ATLS really important because they listen to us Teenies, hear what ideas we have - how we feel about things - and they give us a say in things! It makes us teenies feel more incuded , heard and seen with everything thats going on - and also helps us to be able reach out to community leaders and share our thoughts and check in and keep both sides connected and on the same page 😊! They are also really awesome at keeping things safe and happy too. I think its helpful in other ways too..just for the ATLs to see the dynamics of the teenie side, how things look / where improvements can be made so they can feed this back too and help out. Atls are super cool, awesome and always make us smile! We are all super grateful for you all! ♡"

"the adults help teen to develop sense of boundaries and responsibilities. they also help teenies to learn more about active listening skills and encourage them to do better! 😀"
