IYC HOLDS FIRST YOUTH ASSEMBLY PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING at WORLD YOUTH ALLIANCE HEADQUARTERS IN NYC


IYC successfully held its first planning committee meeting for the 2010 Youth Assembly at the UN. Ten directors and over 30 additional members from around the world participated via Skype. We discussed the development of a fundraising guide, established strategy groups, and formulated the evolving schedule for the Youth Assembly as we get closer to August 4th.

As of right now, IYC will be running 90 minute workshops on the first day (August 4th), which will be followed by a discussion of the MDGs and youth leadership lead by US and Chinese ambassadors. At night, there will be a MDG campaign forum and dinner where NGOs and IYC members can showcase their projects and plant seeds for collaboration. The food will be good, we promise!!!

On the second day (August 5th), there will be a breakfast networking session. IYC will then run another series of 90 minute workshops. There will be announcements in the near future about activities following these workshops, including the possibility of a NGO job fair, IYC networking events, and an event on universities and the MDGs.

On the last day (August 6th), there will be a breakfast networking session followed by a range of IYC forums on internally coordinated project outreach and next steps following the Youth Assembly.

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.
