YOUTH HEALTH LITERACY NETWORK

Expanding health literacy to improve health outcomes.

Youth Health Literacy Network is a dynamic platform that brings together youth to discuss and enhance personal health literacy in the community. Through engaging workshops and digital content, we empower individuals to understand, evaluate, and apply health information effectively. Together, we’re building healthier, more informed communities.
