Advocacy in Action:AIA YAF's Advocacy group is proud to present the Advocacy in Action Series - a curated collection of resource documents created by young architects, for young architects.
Through this initiative, the Young Architects Forum seeks to amplify the collective knowledge of early to mid-career professionals and create accessible tools that support growth, career resilience, and meaningful engagement in the profession. Each month, new documents will be released, addressing topics that shape the young architect experience, including career development, leadership, self-advocacy and wellness.
If you are interested in contributing to this series, please reach out to Tanya Kataria, YAF 2026 Advocacy Director at tanya.kataria@gmail.comDesigning for Wellbeing: a beyond-compliance approach to inclusive spaces
