Our programs provide environments where young people can build knowledge, develop connections, and find their voice on matters they care about. All our activities are run by young people for young people. 

Each year more than 15,000 young people benefit from UN Youth Australia’s programs, including: Evatt, Australia’s largest model United Nations competition; the Young Diplomat’s Tour across Europe; and a host of local State and Territory conferences.
