A Celebration of International Youth Day 2022
International Youth Day is celebrated on 12 August 2022, bringing awareness to issues facing young people and celebrating their potential in building a better future.
At NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service (MHCS), we recognise the value of diversity and co-design in enriching our work. We are investing in young people through our Multicultural Youth Ambassador Program. In the words of one of our current youth ambassador, “I would like to recognize the valuable support from NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service team for this wonderful opportunity to share our experience and promoting key health messages to our friends, family and networks”
