Our Mission

Youth HPV Champions is a student-led initiative sponsored by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, aiming to increase awareness of HPV prevention among the youth through conference summit events with keynote speakers and workshop sessions designed to train students to take steps to advocate for HPV prevention among their peers. Youth HPV Champions seeks to not only normalize but also encourage discussions about HPV to contribute to the global effort in eliminating HPV infections, and thus, the global cancer burden for future generations.
