local action, regional results

Youth for Youth LIVE! Guam (YFYLG) member, Vera Hosei, took part in the Micronesian Youth Services Network conference held in the Republic of the Marshall Islands as one of Guam's delegation on July 2017.

The Micronesian Youth Services Network is a non-profit organization  that aims to support, collaborate, coordinate, promote and strengthen youth programs and services throughout Micronesia. They envision youth, families, leaders and communities taking a positive role in issues that impact our lives today for a better tomorrow.

Hosei participated in the different programs and activities scheduled to highlight and share best practices, policies and efforts. As the youngest member in the Guam delegation, Hosei collaborated with fellow representatives to provide a status of youth-based issues on Guam to better address them.

Hosei was quoted saying, "I had a really great time there. The conference was so awesome and I got to learn so much from the other islands that attended. I hope to attend the next one!"
