The World Health Organization is pleased to announce the call for expressions of interest for the second term of the WHO Youth Council, running from 2024 to 2026 and hereby invites organizations to submit their expression of interest.
The WHO Youth Council aims to foster meaningful youth engagement within the WHO, leveraging the insights and expertise of diverse young people globally to shape health policies and strategies. The Council serves as a platform to amplify youth voices, promote public health, and support WHO’s efforts in strengthening youth contributions to health systems through advocacy and innovative initiatives.
Eligibility
The WHO Youth Council invite expressions of interest from organizations active on the international level, that are youth-led, youth-focused or a youth chapter in a larger organization. We are looking to select a mix of primarily health and non-health organizations.

If your organization is not yet a member, please submit your application here in addition to submitting your expression of interest for the WHO Youth Council. Please note, that for your expression of interest for the Council to be considered, a submitted application for the WHO Civil Society Commission suffices.
