Overview
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 criteria
To be eligible for membership, organizations must meet all eligibility criteria outlined in the revised Terms of Reference. Please read through the Terms of Reference carefully, to fully understand the Council’s activities.

WHO is asking all Youth Council members to be a part of the WHO Civil Society Commission. If your organization is not yet a member, please submit your application here in addition to submitting your expression of interest for the 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.
