Someone like you - the Y-PEER network

Under the Y-PEER scheme in Azerbaijan, young people across the country have been trained to help others of a similar age and background get the facts, understanding, attitudes and skills they need to be responsible for and to protect their health and well being.

One of the advantages of the Y-PEER scheme is that it’s flexible: you can chat one-to-one -- or in a larger group. And you can meet in almost any location: a university, a club, a café -- even in the street.
