Since 2004, the Youth Leadership in Sexual and Reproductive Health Program (GOJoven) has been developing the leadership capacity of young professionals in adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH). For six years, the GOJoven program trained a select cadre of Spanish-speaking youth leaders between the ages of 18 and 30 in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Quintana Roo, Mexico. In 2010, GOJoven launched a new English-language program in Belize while continuing with the Spanish-language program in Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.

The program is implemented by International Health Programs of the Public Health Institute with primary funding from the Summit Foundation and additional funding from The World Bank. GOJoven has two main components:
1) Developing the vision, commitment, and leadership capacity of young leaders through a Fellowship program;
2) Institutional Strengthening and capacity building for civil society organizations and government organizations to effectively manage, fund and collaborate in advancing ASRH policies, programs, and services.
