Youth Assembly - Day 2 (morning)

It's the second day of the Youth Assembly at the UN and everything is going quite well. IYC Co-founder Jamie Ansorge spoke about the essence of networking both on the ground and on the internet earlier this morning at the UN.
He was joined by a panel of distinguished speakers from the Friendship Ambassadors Foundation (FAF), Fairleigh-Dickinson University, and more.

The mood was light and fun and there was a tangible energy as over 100 youth engaged in a discussion about ethics, fundraising, and global outreach. I think at one point there was also a debate over how to handle situations with ugly babies...

Photos and videos of this panel discussion will be posted on this blog and IYC Facebook 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.
