Youth Health Promoter

Are you passionate about youth health and ready to support communities in strengthening the well-being of their adolescents? Communities in Paraguay are seeking your support. National and local institutions, like the Paraguayan Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, agree that many communities face rising challenges related to youth health, including noncommunicable diseases, substance use, emotional stress, and limited access to youth-friendly information about sexual and reproductive health.

These challenges are influenced by shifting social and cultural norms, limited health promotion resources, and varying levels of community awareness. Because schools and health posts often lack training, coordination, or resources to address these topics effectively, Paraguay seeks support to develop skills among the local youth, parents, caregivers, and service providers.

As a Youth Health Promoter, you will work in collaboration with teachers, caregivers, and community health workers to promote healthy behaviors and expand the local capacity to support youth well-being. Together, you will strengthen the youths’ ability to make informed choices and manage emotional and social pressures.

This collaborative approach contributes to stronger community health systems and equips the Paraguayan youth with the knowledge and skills to thrive.
