YCU enlists community participation through working with local leadership as well as school and village health structures.

: Informal techniques are adopted to support learning with regard to illiterate participants. Participants participate in verbal needs assessments to share their RH experiences and challenges. As discussions progress, participants realize the need to change their attitudes towards issues such as family planning services, sexual rights, HIV/AIDS and attain knowledge to address the challenges they face.

YCU employs the peer-to-peer approach in disseminating information. Youth Peer Educators (YPEs) are selected and trained in the rights-based approach to service delivery as well as sexual behavior change, and tasked to pass on the acquired knowledge to fellow youth.

YCU developed strategic networks and partnerships to further the campaign of fulfilling women and girl’s rights and bringing reproductive health services to the grassroots more especially Child Marriages and Teenage Pregnancy.

Community based outreaches are used by the Youth Peer Educators (YPEs), Volunteers and Village Health Teams (VHTs) to create an effective network of care in the community.
