What is UNA Youth?
UNA Youth is the youth wing of UNA-UK. We bring together young people - college and university students- from over 40 branches in the UK who are passionate about the United Nations and its work to protmote peace, development and human rights for all. Our aim is to build a better understanding of the UN, and to equip young people to play a more active role in international affairs and create the opportunities for them to do so.
We are dedicated to upholding the ideals of the United Nations by raising awareness and support among youth and students of the UK. We encourage young people to be active global citizens and work for a strong, credible and effective UN. |

The activities of UNA Youth are overseen by the Youth Council, which is elected at the UNA Youth annual conference.
The Youth Council exsists to support, develop and coordinate the activities of braches and to provide a link between individual UNA Youth members.
It also runs national campaigns and events which individuals and branches can get involved with. |
What Do We Do?
| Through our branches we offer a range of events, including speaker events, workshops and conferences that give you insight into the work of the United Nations. Or participate in one of the many Model United Nations conferences organised across the country and abroad, which offer a realist example of how inter-state diplomacy on pressing international issues is conducted within the UN. We co-ordinate annual campaigns, which are great way to raise your voice on topical global issues. In the past we have campaigned on issues including climate change, nuclear non-proliferation and ending world hunger. |
