Y-PEER Asia and Pacific Center BACKGROUND
Y-PEER Asia Pacific is a dynamic and comprehensive voluntary youth-to-youth initiative, headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand. We are a regional office within the global Y-PEER network, which connects young people and hundreds of thousands of volunteers across Asia Pacific region. With the mission to empower young people to lead healthy lifestyles and actively participate in their communities through peer-to-peer education, Y-PEER Asia Pacific aims to foster youths who can make informed decision in the Asia and Pacific region with regards to their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Y-PEER Asia Pacific is supported by the Robert Carr Funds for Civil Society Network (RCNF), UNFPA Asia Pacific Regional Office (UNFPA APRO), and hosted by Youth Lead, we collaborate closely with UNFPA Headquarters, and Country Offices, alongside various partners, to advance our cause. Our primary focus areas include physical and mental health, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender-based violence (GBV), youth participation, civic engagement, and preparedness for emergency response and peacebuilding.
Since our establishment, we have been committed to supporting and training young peer educators across the region. Through our collaborative efforts and youth-led initiatives, Y-PEER Asia Pacific continues to champion the voices of young people, fostering a culture of citizenship and leadership among the youth.
