Global Youth Health Summit 2019

The theme for the summit is breaking down barriers. We are talking about all kinds of barriers today - from racial and religious barriers to country borders, from wage discrimination to glass ceilings - we aim to touch societal issues that youth can rally behind and serve as agents of change to bridge the health gap. We aim to show our generation how they can defy the status quo and use public health best practices to create social change and bridge the health gap. And finally, we aim to empower youth to break down barriers of their own comfort zones to challenge what they believe they are capable of, to create change in their own communities.

We at MDJunior plan to use GYHS to inspire the youth of our generation to make a change; the summit will give them the confidence needed to break down any barriers holding them back from achieving their goals and changing their communities for the better.

The conference will take place at Emory University in Goodrich C. White Hall, (301 Dowman Dr, Atlanta, GA 30307).
