Do you want to learn more about global SRHR, inform and inspire Canadian youth, and advocate for girls’ health and rights? The Youth Public Engagement Champions (YPEC) are a group of six Canadian youth aged 16-24 who raise awareness of global Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights through the SHE SOARS* project.
