Good Practices on COVID-19 Youth Engagement and Youth Leadership

Call for submission

Does your organisation have experience with advocating for the inclusion of young people within global, regional, and local COVID-19 Community Engagement? The Collective Service’s Youth Engagement Subgroup YES! via the Collective Helpdesk and with the support of UNICEF, UNAIDS, UN WOMEN and the Compact for Young People in Humanitarian Action is putting out a call for submission to document, analyse, and promote good practices in youth engagement and youth leadership in COVID-19 response.

We will select six good practices to make into case studies and disseminate them through international communication platforms and promote them in a special global webinar hosted by the Collective Service, GOARN and YES!, the Youth Engagement Subgroup. To take part in the showcase, YES! invites you to review the Call for Submission available in English, French, and Spanish and submit your good practices via this Google Form. We urge you to submit only ONE good practice at a time through the Google Form. For any questions, please contact the Collective Helpdesk.

Deadline to apply:  August 31st, 2022.
