GYCA’s Regional Focal Point Program prepares young leaders working in the HIV response to be pro-active and effective agents of change. Regional Focal Points are GYCA’s eyes and ears in every region of the world. They create a bridge that links grassroots activism and action with global advocacy, helping to usher young people’s voices through the corridors of power.
The voices of young people are central to ensuring a strong global HIV response. Young people are disproportionately affected by HIV; every year, young people represent more than 40% of all new HIV infections. As the world meets to establish the post-2015 development agenda, GYCA is committed to ensuring that young people play a role in that decision-making.
The Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS is seeking volunteer Regional Focal Points who live and work on issues related to
young people and HIV/AIDS in 5 regions: Asia Pacific, Caribbean, Middle East & North Africa, North America, Western Europe
GYCA Regional Focal Points are critical partners in the youth HIV movement. They play a key role in determining GYCA’s strategic direction in the evolving global HIV response, helping GYCA ensure that it is truly led by the young people for whom, and with whom, we work. Through GYCA, these young leaders have the opportunity to change the way the world looks at young people.
DEADLINE: March 21, 11:59 PM EST

I hope i could find a wy to work with you. I am an Ex-PET ( Peer Education Trainer ). I had an extensive trainning program on ‘National Reproductive Health, HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Project Througj the NYSC. We have always thought about our area of relevance after the NYSC service but to no avail. This has prompted me to take the courage with passion and with great sense of commitment to form an anti HIV/AIDS club which i named ‘Catch Them Young anti HIV/AIDS Club’.
The group is primarily focused to arrest the mind of the teenagers, mostly between the age of 12 and above.
It is my believe that if they are better informed in HIV/AIDS in totality, they would serve as a good role model to their peers and also an agent of positive change within the society.
If i could be given the privilege to serve under your organization and/or if your organization could find a way to breath a life in my initiative, it would really go a long way in reducing the future spread of the virus, drastically among the teen and/or finally led to the extinction of the deadly virus both in our society, Nigeria and the world at large.
Perhaps you might need further details on our group, please feel free to contact me: +2348032411212, olafunmisetm@gmail.com
