The program provides an opportunity for WYA youth members to attend part or all of the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations in New York.

Participants benefit from informational training at WYA that teaches them how to articulate the core concepts of human dignity protection at the UN. Participants learn how to interact with delegates, and most effectively represent themselves, their countries and the mission of WYA.

Essay Question

Benefits

Participants of the Youth Voices program are selected through an essay writing competition that covers themes discussed in actual United Nations Commissions. Writers of the winning essays will receive:

  • An invitation to attend UN commissions together with the WYA team
  • Training at the WYA Headquarters prior to attending the UN Commission
  • Free lodging in New York City for the duration of the program
  • A certificate of completion of the Youth Voices Program

Please note that participants will have to cover their own transportation costs to and from New York City, and within New York City.

Submission Requirements

  • Be from 16-30 years old
  • One entry per person
