Young Health Programme (YHP) Scholarship 2018 - Apply Here.
The Young Health Programme (YHP) is now accepting applications for its fully funded Scholarship to attend the One Young World Summit 2018 in The Hague, Netherlands.
About Youth Health Programme (YHP) Scholarship.
Wherever we work in the world, we aim to make a positive impact in
our local communities and collaborate to address the health issues that
most affect people at a local, national and global level. Our Young
Health Programme (YHP) embodies this belief. Through YHP we work to
address the growing burden of non-communicable disease (NCDs) –
conditions like type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart and respiratory disease.
We do it with a unique focus on youth and primary prevention. Evidence
shows that many NCDs are linked to behaviours that begin during
adolescence: tobacco use, the harmful use of alcohol, physical
inactivity and unhealthy diets. Once behaviours are formed, they are
difficult to break. Through YHP, we aim to engage and empower young
people with information so that they can make healthy choices today that
will lead to better health later in life.
But YHP is not just
about health education and promotion. We work with NCD Child, Rise Up
Together and Plan International UK to put adolescent health on the
healthcare agenda. We invest in research to generate new evidence that
fills the gaps in our knowledge about adolescent health and risk
behavior activity. And most importantly, we work to provide youth with a
voice. Youth are at the core of everything we do. Young people have a
powerful voice in identifying their own health needs as well as planning
and delivering solutions. As Alyssa Frampton, YHP Youth Ambassador and
One Young World Ambassador says, health cannot be “about us, without
us.”
We are proud to provide charitable support to One Young World
to engage more youth in our efforts to address the issue of adolescent
health and disease prevention. We are collaborating with One Young
World to offer ten scholarships to inspiring young leaders to attend the
One Young World Summit 2018 in The Hague, Netherlands.
Young Health Programme (YHP) Scholarship Eligibility.
We
are looking for young people who work for or are involved with a

involved with the programme, as peer educators, advocates, NGO partners
