Advantage:
As an adolescent and a student nurse, I am happy
that a program exists wherein the youth are
recognized as valuable and integral resources in
the development of all health-related programs and
policies.
It promotes increased awareness and public
support for the unique contributions youth can and
do make to healthy communities.
