About the Youth Advisory Panel

The Youth Advisory Panel is a distinguished group that complements our established International Advisory Board. Comprising eight young individuals aged 16-24 from varied backgrounds, the panel includes those with lived experiences of illness or disability, a strong passion for health advocacy, or a keen interest in global child health and rights. This role is purely advisory and unpaid, distinct from internships and without editorial responsibilities.

Panel members contribute by providing feedback on published content within their interest areas, suggesting suitable topics for the journal, and participating in podcasts and webinars. Typically, advisory board members serve a 3-year term and are granted a free online subscription to the journal during this period.

If you are interested in joining our Youth Advisory Panel, please fill out the form on the next page to tell us more about yourself.
