The 1st National Youth Forum in Guatemala, a groundbreaking event dedicated to substance use prevention, was successfully organized by the Organization of American States’ Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (OAS/CICAD), in collaboration with ISSUP Guatemala and with the support of the Universidad de San Carlos.
This forum marked a significant milestone, with 38 youth leaders from across the country completing intensive training in substance use prevention. These young leaders are now equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to make meaningful contributions to their communities, advocating for healthy lifestyles.
Youth play a vital role in addressing and preventing substance use. By empowering young leaders, we foster a generation that is both informed and proactive. Their involvement brings fresh perspectives and innovative approaches, crucial in promoting resilience and well-being among their peers.
A heartfelt congratulations to the 38 youth participants who dedicated their time and effort to this essential cause. Your passion, dedication, and hard work inspire us all to continue striving for a better, healthier future. Your impact will be felt far and wide—congratulations on this remarkable achievement!
