Our Strategic Goals

  • Strengthen the capacity of healthcare providers through advanced training in infection
    control, employee health, hospital epidemiology, and evidence-based clinical practices.
  • Expand access to quality, affordable healthcare for women, youth, individuals with disabilities, and refugees by addressing financial, social, and geographic barriers.
  • Promote holistic youth development by encouraging drug-free lifestyles, mental and
    emotional resilience, and positive decision-making.
  • Increase community health awareness through targeted campaigns focused on early
    detection, prevention, and management of chronic and emerging health conditions.
  • Build strong, sustainable partnerships with civil society organizations, private sector
    entities, and technical experts to enhance program reach and effectiveness.
  • Advance mental health and psychosocial support services through culturally sensitive
    counseling, trauma-informed care, and community-based support groups.
  • Leverage innovative tools and media platforms to disseminate health information,
    strengthen community engagement, and promote behavior change.
    These goals ensure that ME YOUTH’s programs remain mission-driven, community-centered,
    and aligned with global health and development standards.

ME YOUTH began in 1995 as an informal, community-driven initiative supported by Middle Eastern business leaders. Its early work focused on empowering youth in Southern California through conferences, mentorship, and programs that promoted positive life choices, resilience,
and spiritual growth.
