The Youth Assembly at the United Nations is the largest and longest-running youth gathering at the UN. The 2016 Summer Youth Assembly will take place August 10-12 at UN Headquarters in New York with the theme "Transform Vision Into Action" and a focus on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
The Youth Assembly at the UN empowers youths (16-28 years old) in global arenas, specifically the UN Global Development Agenda. It's a unique platform, which fosters dialogue and creates partnerships between exceptional youth, UN high officials and staff, the private sector, and civil society.
The Office of Global Services will sponsor a
group of
students to
attend the
2016 Summer
Youth Assembly
conference at
the United
Nations for
FREE
(normally $175). Our
sponsorship
will pay
for the 3-day
Youth Assembly
and a
souvenir.
These
students,
however, will
be responsible
for their own
meals,
accommodations,
and travel
during the
conference.
This
sponsorship is
available for
NYU students
who:
- are youth leaders or aspiring youth leaders, ages 16-28+
- could understand and speak English (translation services are not available)
- are able to pick up the attendance badge on August 9 and are available August 10-12 for the conference
