YOUR voice is an essential part of what makes the International Youth Activist Network a SUCCESS. Please submit your stories to share with other youth activists from around the world!  If you are one of the first 10 iYAN members to submit an essay that meets the criteria below, you will WIN a blue notebook with Advocates for Youth’s notebook and a pen (to write more essays, of course!).

*Please note that blogs you have posted on Amplify will not be considered as entries.*

If you are a youth activist from a low or middle-income country AND you are not yet an iYAN member, there's still time! Join now!

Just go to: www.advocatesforyouth.org/iYAN

Here is the criteria for you to submit an article for the newsletter:

- Articles should be no more than 500 words.

- Language should be simple and easy for non-native English speakers to read.

- If you have a photo, would like us to include it with your article, and can send it via email, please do!  It’s okay if you do not have a photo, but we would like to bring a face to your words when we have the chance.

- Advocates for Youth edits all published materials, so we will send you the revised draft for your approval before it is featured in the newsletter. We want to make sure that you are happy with the final product as well!

- When you submit an article, it may not appear right away in the next issue but we will be sure to include it in the next possible newsletter.

- Even if you’ve already submitted an article, you can still send others for upcoming issues of the newsletter.

- Issues that should be discussed from your experiences as a youth activist working on sexual and reproductive health issues. Topics on access to or lack of contraceptives, family planning, reproductive health, safe abortion services are strongly encouraged.

- You will receive an email by the next iYAN edition as to whether you are one of the first 10 to submit your article.

All entries should be submitted to mimi@advocatesforyouth.org. If you have questions on how to submit your article, please contact Mimi


Do it soon!! You could be one of the first 10!
