THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK
People of Youthplus
The community leaders, peer advisors, young people and practitioners making change happen.
Change begins with people
Youthplus works alongside communities. Across our programmes, young people, community leaders, peer advisors, educators, practitioners and partners contribute knowledge, time and leadership to address the issues that matter in their communities.
People of Youthplus is a series of stories recognising these contributions. It will share experiences from the people who connect communities, support access to services, create learning opportunities and help turn local ideas into action.
Starting with community leadership
Peer Community Advisors are an important part of the DEEPROOTS community-based HIV prevention model. They help bring information, conversations and connections closer to the communities they serve.
Our stories will explore their experiences, what community engagement looks like in practice, the challenges they encounter and the lessons they share.
Stories we will bring forward
Community leadership
People taking initiative, building trust and helping communities organise around shared priorities.
Peer support and learning
