Projects

Youth RISE carries out local, national, and regional projects globally, depending on the specific needs of young people who use drugs. Projects are coordinated and implemented by Youth RISE staff members and International Working Group members.

In our project development, we are work towards:

1. Increasing training opportunities - for youth and service providers that promote a youth-centered approach.
2. Promoting effective harm reduction services - We address health issues by championing harm reduction services that are relevant, accessible, and conducive to the overall health of young people. 
3. Increasing research and evidence - There isn’t enough out there, so we help bring it together and get it out.  Research shows how youth are being affected positively through harm reduction service delivery models and we need to get it out there in a more systematic way.
4. Supporting the empowerment of young people who use drugs
