Youth Advocates for Health

The Youth Advocates for Health (YA4-H!) program engages teens as researchers, teachers, and health advocates to define, assess, and address health-related issues that are salient to youth in their communities. YA4-H! prepares youth to conduct community-based research with a health focus, and to use the results of the research to educate others about, and advocate for, solutions to health related concerns at the community level.
