Welcome to the new YGS Wiki!
We hope this wiki will be a good place for us to share books, movies, local groups, and other resources with each other. Don't forget, if you aren't already subscribing to a YGS List, you can join at the Youth Guardian Services Website.
Also, watch out for Discussion pages. At the top of your screen are tabs that say "article", "discussion", "edit" etc. If the discussion tab is blue, someone has made a comment about that page. Feel free to leave comments.
And remember, "Champion the right to be yourself. Dare to be different. Live your own life. Follow your own star." -Wilfred A Peterson
