Background Government in Ondo state have made significant effort in establishing youth friendly health care centres to increase young people’s access to health and social services. By it became very frustrating to see very few young people patronizing such centres due 8am-4pm working hours. Change in time to 4pm-8pm showed a significant difference in young people access to AYFHC services.

Methods Using Participatory Learning in action and community engagement We discovered young people 10–35 years in Akure either attend school from 8am-4pm or go to centres where they skills from 8am-6pm. With this kind of schedule, it became very difficult for young people to leave school or their skill centres for AYFHC services. In 2017, there was an extension in service time to 8pm, there was a massive increase of young people accessing social and health services at this centre’s from 4pm-8pm from 2persons per day to 12persons per day.

Results It was observed that the additional 10 persons came between 4pm to 8pm. Most of the young people preferred the evening hours because it was very convenient and it allows them do their daily activities. Also it reduced stigmatization because absence at school or work leads to questions been raised.

Conclusion Provision of AYFHC isn’t enough, passionate Friendly health workers should be employed and Service time should be convenient for young people to come as well as the location should be strategic.
