We're building the capacity of young people to become the architects of healthier communities. Our program empowers them to advocate for health, design and implement community-driven health initiatives, and spearhead crucial health reforms. We provide the training and support they need to transform their passion into tangible action, ensuring their voices are heard and their ideas are realized.
