GYCA is a youth-led international network of over 7200 young leaders fighting the spread of HIV and AIDS in more than 180 countries worldwide. GYCA is a program of the Public Health Institute with staff based in New York, USA, and Accra, Ghana. GYCA is supported by the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative.

GYCA was founded by youth attendees of the XIV International AIDS Conference in Barcelona 2002 and XV International AIDS Conference in Bangkok 2004. Its work is guided by three priorities: networking and sharing of best practices; technical assistance and capacity building; and political advocacy. GYCA seeks to improve HIV and AIDS policies and programming geared toward young people by facilitating the inclusion of skilled young leaders in decision-making that affects our lives.
