Youth Champions train peers with the Youth Action Guide
Selected champions cascade advocacy skills to secondary students—child marriage prevention, mental health, and inclusion.
Peer facilitation is at the heart of the next Youth Champions cycle. Young leaders learn the Youth Action Guide, then run cascade sessions in their schools.
Students leave with small advocacy plans they can run with classmates—posters, dialogues, and referral pathways for sensitive topics.
