Youth RISE being the only international youth led voices of young people using drugs, acts as a catalyst to bring more voices and active participation of different youth communities on drugs. The goal is to develop a global network of youth with a bottom up model. They are here to bring technical support, community mobilization and involvement of their affected peers. From basic harm reduction services in communities to advocacy of access to right to health and protection of young people who use drugs, they call each organization and peer youths to raise voices and bring out their needs on table for better inclusive policies.
Youth RISE is a youth-led network promoting evidence-based drug policies and harm reduction strategies with the involvement of young people affected by drug policies.
Youth RISE envisions a world where society addresses the needs of young people who use drugs through innovative, humane, evidence-informed, harm reduction and public health-based perspectives.
