About

This manual aims to provide a set of strategies to tackle common challenges in establishing and maintaining a Youth Advisory Council (YAC), particularly in school-based and school-linked health centers. While the focus is on these settings, the information shared is relevant to YACs in any location. Compiled by AHI, the content is drawn from coordinators and youths involved in YAC sites, offering practical ideas and experiences to empower others in nurturing and enhancing their YACs.
