Our future world leaders,

It was an honor to meet all of you, and for those that I had the pleasure to meet again, it was so great to finally see you. For those of you who took the time to come to the YAUN and You workshop, thank you for making it a big success. We had a lot of great feedback, and it was due to your presence that the workshop was successful.

Hearing of your story and your aspirations leaves me only inspired and even more hopeful for a future that needs dire change. We can not solve the challenges of our time unless we do them together. We may have different stories, We may not look the same, We may not all come from the same place, but we all want the same thing.

We can be the greatest generation, WE ARE THE GREATEST GENERATION. This is our moment, this is our time. Together, we will transform the world, towards a better future, for our children and our grand children.

Looking forward to working on projects with you, and I hope we cross paths again soon.

IYC Mission

The International Youth Council (IYC) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded at the UN Youth Assembly in 2007 dedicated to giving young people across the world both collective voice and a mechanism to support global sustainable development.

Our mission is to bring together and support young leaders from around the world in pursuit of partnership, progress, and the Millennium Development Goals. We seek to empower the next generation of leaders by providing them with the training, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed. We also advocate for an official body representative of the youth within the United Nations power structure.

We hope to inspire the youth of the world to act and give them the tools to make a difference.
