History
The Youth and Family Achievement (YAFA) Program was originally an SCA program established to provide the opportunity for youth to learn about various period practices while developing character following the SCA core values. The program was first piloted in the Kingdom of Caid. An Tir soon followed, as well as a handful of other Kingdoms thereafter.
At the conclusion of AS 55, YAFA was discontinued at the Society level, through a vote by the Board of Directors. A primary motivation for this decision was lack of overall participation spread by Kingdoms across the Society. However, An Tir, having had success with the program, decided to continue, albeit with a slight name change.
