Applications are open for the UNA-Canada Youth Global Citizen Prize 2026. As the United Nations Association in Canada (UNA-Canada) celebrates its 80th anniversary, they are excited to relaunch the Youth Global Citizen Prize.
The Prize invites young Canadians to reflect on global citizenship not only as an idea, but as a way of thinking, creating, leading and acting in response to the challenges and opportunities we share. They welcome thoughtful, innovative and creative submissions responding to the question: Which Sustainable Development Goal matters most to you, and how would you help advance it?
