MESSAGE FROM THE
UN SECRETARY GENERAL
before the 6th Annual Youth Assembly

The Youth Assembly is an annual gathering of hundreds of young people from around the world who seek practical ways to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, global networking and social entrepreneurship skills as well as meeting with and contributing to civil society formally affiliated with the United Nations.

The Youth Assembly is about showing how one person can make a difference by engaging with the challenges of the present and being an educated and active citizen.

The Assembly has grown to become a major gathering of young people as well as specialized, keynote speakers and workshop leaders at the United Nations. Each year, it provides avenues for students and young professionals (16-24 years old) to learn about and become involved with programs that address global and local issues, network among a large international group in attendance, and become engaged and empowered to take leadership roles in their communities.

Three days at the U.N. Headquarters in New York
Plenary sessions, workshops, networking
Captivating speakers and workshop facilitators, youth leaders from around the world
Three days of leadership training that has been called "Life Changing"
A must for anyone interested in U.N. Relations, programs and goals
