Organizations interested in joining the WHO Youth Council must meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the updated Terms of Reference. This opportunity is available to youth-led or youth-focused organizations, as well as youth divisions within larger entities that operate internationally. The Council aims to bring together a diverse range of organizations, including those focusing on health and those addressing broader issues affecting youth.

Furthermore, all WHO Youth Council members must be part of the WHO Civil Society Commission. If your organization is not currently a member, you will need to apply for membership in the Commission along with your expression of interest for the Youth Council. Submitting an application to the WHO Civil Society Commission will fulfill the requirement for consideration in the Youth Council.

Please review the Terms of Reference thoroughly to understand the Council's scope and activities. The Council invites expressions of interest from organizations active internationally, especially those that are youth-led, youth-focused, or represent youth chapters within larger organizations. The selection will include a mix of organizations focused on health and those with a broader mandate.

To be eligible for the WHO Youth Council, organizations must also apply to the WHO Civil Society Commission if they are not already members. Submitting this application will meet the requirement for consideration of your expression of interest in the Youth Council.
