Reimagining Youth-Centered Strategies and Engagement

The RYSE Innovation Hub is driven by our vision that all young people will have access to the personal agency, resources, and opportunities needed to achieve the best possible well-being.

As a hybrid innovation hub, subject matter experts and youth innovation advisors collaborate with Innovation Development Teams (IDTs) to advance health innovations through our Concept to Scale (C2S) pipeline. The C2S pipeline represents a spectrum where innovations can progress from early concept to scaled implementation, resulting in strategies that build capacity for adolescent health innovations focused on preventing unintended teen pregnancies and STIs.

RYSE supports IDTs to center youth voice through our Youth Engagement Principles. We partner with IDTs to design, test, and strengthen approaches that authentically integrate young people as co-creators in innovation design, development, and evaluation. By refining youth engagement practices in areas such as recruitment, facilitation, and retention, we support IDTs to advance innovations that are more relevant, effective, and impactful for the young people they are intended to serve.
