Healthy Caribbean Youth Front-of-package Warning Labels (FOPWL) Call to Action
HCY is the youth arm of the Healthy Caribbean Coalition, is a regional group of young enterprising health advocates with various backgrounds who are passionate about promoting good health and supportive environments for children and youth.
The goal of HCY is to empower young Caribbean people to become strong advocates for a healthier Caribbean and future leaders in the prevention and control of NCDs.
The work of the HCY builds on the work of HCC. Our work is guided by three pillars Advocacy, Networking and Capacity Building which are core to the Healthy Caribbean Coalition’s Strategic Plan and Transformative New Agenda.
We ADVOCATE so that our messages about prioritizing healthy environments, especially in the Caribbean region, reach far and wide. We NETWORK to grow and strengthen our coalition of youth voices and learn from the experiences of other youth advocates from across the globe. We engage in CAPACITY BUILDING activities so that we can feel comfortable and confident in the advocacy spaces we occupy.
