"I urge you to see your time (at the YA) as a call to action. The world needs each and every one of you to do your part in transforming our world and building a more sustainable and equitable future for all."
– U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, August 2009

"It is a great pleasure to send greetings to Friendship Ambassadors Foundation's Youth Delegates. I can't thank you enough for demonstrating your commitment to making a difference, and I encourage each of you to continue to give back to others.”
– Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor, New York City, August 2010

“If you saw the impact you have had on the youth (and young at heart) attending the Assembly you would have to shade your eyes from the brightness of hope. We applaud you for your good work.”
– Paulette Schatz, UNDP Kabul-Afghanistan, September 2007

"This is a WONDERFUL program for youth. If you have an older teen or university student in your family, please check out the 2011 Youth Assembly Program!"
