Applications call for PACE Training Fellowship for Reproductive Health Policy Advocacy.

Purpose

This is a multimedia training fellowship that will boost the skills and success of youth-led FP/RH organizations and will teach them to create digital campaigns, networks, and movements for policy change. The project will begin with an in-person training opportunity for digitally savvy youth organizations who will then return to their communities to lead and launch multimedia campaigns with their peers focused on critical FP/RH issues. Moreover, the lessons will focus on leadership, advocacy campaign planning, multimedia skill development, and community engagement and will include discussions and exchanges with key experts.
