The second IYC planning committee meeting was held yesterday, June 17th, 2010 in Manhattan.
Many IYC members were in attendance along with Patrick Sciarratta, Director of Friendship Ambassadors Foundation (FAF), the non-profit that will co-run the Youth Assembly at the UN with us.
The planning meeting was primarily centered on fleshing out details for each day of the Youth Assembly. It looks like we’re going to host a skill-building day where attendees can learn how to write grants, proposals, build partnerships and much more. We will also host a networking event and hold numerous workshops in the spirit of youth action and empowerment.
We also discussed reaching out to NGOs working on the MDGs for a campaign night where youth delegates can engage more broadly in helping to achieve IYC’s goals.
The meeting follows a conference call between Working Group Coordinators, who have done an excellent job of getting Youth Assembly planning and organization underway.
Join us for our weekly meeting Friday June 18th!!! - Contact Asha Castleberry.
