When young people are heard, they can lead change.

Today is International Youth Day, and Jazzly Decena, a student leader and youth advocate from Ozamiz City, reflects on the importance of meaningful youth participation.

Through Jhpiego’s BRAVE Project, young people have opportunities to share their experiences, shape solutions, and advocate for healthier and more informed communities.

This reflects Jhpiego’s broader FP2030 Commitment to ensuring that the voices and needs of adolescents and young people are heard and considered.

Youth leadership is more than having a seat at the table. It means having a voice in shaping the decisions and solutions that affect their lives.

Youth voices. Youth leadership. Youth-led change.

As we mark International Youth Day, we spotlight Charles Mission, a student leader and youth advocate from Ozamiz City, who shows what is possible when young people are given the space to speak, participate, and lead.

Through Jhpiego’s BRAVE Project, young people are not simply recipients of information. They are partners in creating solutions that respond to the realities of their peers and communities.

As part of Jhpiego’s FP2030 Commitment, we continue to champion meaningful youth engagement and ensure that young people have the knowledge, support, and opportunities to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and future.

Young people are not just the future. They are leading change today.

Teachers are being tapped to help address one of the Philippines’ most persistent but largely preventable health threats: cervical cancer.

The Department of Education and Jhpiego, a global health nonprofit affiliated with Johns Hopkins University, have launched a new resource booklet to equip teachers and education support personnel with evidence-based information on human papillomavirus vaccination and cervical cancer prevention.

The initiative recognizes schools and educators as key partners in efforts to improve vaccine uptake nationwide as thousands of Filipino women continue to be diagnosed with and die from cervical cancer each year, despite growing awareness among families about the importance of HPV vaccination.
