Panama, we are here! 🇵🇦 The #SBCCSummit has officially opened, marking the first Summit hosted in Latin America & the Caribbean. Y+ Global is proud to support the Summit as part of the Secretariat, helping to champion meaningful youth engagement throughout the week.
The #READYMovement thrives on a key principle that young people’s voices matter, and meaningful engagement starts with valuing and respecting them.
In Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 we brought together 19 young people for a We Matter, Value Us training to reflect on how well youth-centered principles are being integrated within the READY Project and to identify opportunities for improvement.
Participants shared inspiring stories of growth, highlighting increased confidence, stronger self-advocacy skills, enhanced leadership, greater participation in support groups, and active involvement in advocacy initiatives.
The We Matter Value Us toolkit is available on our website for free! You can also strengthen your advocacy skills! Tap the 🔗 in our bio to start today! 🔥🔥🔥

What happens when young people are equipped with the right tools to advocate for their health and wellbeing? Change begins. 👏🏾
In Mzuzu and Blantyre 🇲🇼, 57 young people were trained using the READY to Advocate Tool and the We Matter, Value Us (WMVU) Guidelines to strengthen their advocacy for youth-friendly health spaces and meaningful engagement in healthcare decision-making.
Armed with new knowledge and practical skills, participants developed action plans to advocate for more adolescent and youth-centered care across SRHR, HIV, and broader health services, pushing for health facilities and communities where young people feel heard, respected, and supported.
The best part is, these resources are available for you too! Access it all now! 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♂️💨 https://t.co/QC4WIIKt9Y

READY+ believes young people deserve health services that are accessible, welcoming, and designed with their realities in mind. 🌍🧠
We are excited to introduce the Youth Friendly Service Toolkit, a comprehensive package of resources developed to strengthen the quality and accessibility of health services for young people.
Co-created and validated through workshops with consortium partners and youth representatives, the toolkit is available in English and Portuguese and includes:
✔️ A core toolkit
✔️ A facility checklist
✔️ Supporting certificates
These resources has been designed for both web and print use, and they will support implementing partners to identify service gaps, establish standards for youth-friendly care, and advocate for the sustainable integration of youth-friendly approaches into national health systems.
Meaningful youth-centered healthcare starts with systems that listen, adapt, and respond to young people. ❤️
