At Global Health Alliance (GHA), we believe that investing in youth is investing in the future of global health. The Youth Connections Café is a safe, welcoming space where young people (ages 16–24) can explore mental well-being, nutrition, leadership, and inclusion while building the confidence and skills needed for lifelong success.

Our weekly sessions bring youth together to learn, create, and connect in supportive environments that value diversity and amplify their voices. Special attention is given to supporting newcomers, underrepresented, and marginalized youth, ensuring that every participant feels seen, valued, and empowered.
