many do not receive the health education and support they need to achieve their full potential. Social pressures and gender inequality make adolescent girls globally particularly vulnerable to significant health and educational consequences. We believe an untapped resource can help address this problem: the adolescents themselves.
We cultivate a global network of youth health educators (Champions) who lead the educational process in their schools and communities, support one another in transitioning to adulthood, while fighting for gender and health equality.
We use an innovative, evidence-based peer education model that leverages the voices, talent, and leadership of adolescents to disseminate critical health information and bring to light gender inequality in schools and communities
We take an anti-oppression, de-colonial, feminist, and intersectional approach to gender justice, recognizing the way that gender inequality intersects with other inequalities including those in the realms of caste, religion, class, socioeconomic status, able-ism, race, colorism, and more.
