Young Leaders in Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health in the Mesoamerican Reef Countries

We believe that by training the leaders of tomorrow, we can make a significant, visible and lasting difference in the quality of life of young people in selected countries in Mesoamerica. Toward this end, we are working to create a cadre of outstanding young professionals committed to improving adolescent sexual and reproductive health in Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Quintana Roo, Mexico. In collaboration with International Health Programs, we have developed the GOJoven Program, now in its fourth year, which is working to:
    • Identify outstanding young professionals who are experienced in reproductive health and committed to the field;
    • Foster the commitment of these young leaders, expand their vision, extend their technical knowledge and strengthen their leadership skills;
    • Create an effective regional network of young leaders dedicated to creating innovative solutions to adolescent reproductive health challenges;
    • Foster an environment that supports youth leadership in the organizations where these young leaders work; and
    • Expand public support for adolescent sexual and reproductive health in these countries.
