ABOUT THE EVENT
WHAT IS A HIGH SCHOOL AMBASSADOR?
The High School Ambassador Program is a unique opportunity for students to get more involved with UN Youth Wellington. Being an HSA involves being a spokesperson for UNYouth and helping us advertise our upcoming events and much more. But it also allows students to run Model UNs in their schools and grow the presence of UN Youth! If you are a dedicated student and enthusiastic about youth civics education this is the role for you.
HSA TRAINING HUI
The in-person hui for Wellington-based HSA's and the online hui for those outside the immediate Wellington region will be held on the 18th May, 2024. Further details about these will be released closer to the date and on acceptance of your application.

ABOUT UN YOUTH
UN Youth is a non-profit organisation that provides civics education outside the traditional classroom context. Through fun workshops and conferences, we engage youth in the most pressing affairs of their country and the international community. Our goal is to inspire young New Zealanders to be active, global citizens. Global citizenship exists in an incredibly diverse range of forms, and UN Youth provides opportunities for delegates to develop their own form of active citizenship. Throughout Aotearoa, our work equips young people to become informed, engaged, and critical New Zealanders who understand their global context and the connections between the local and the global. Annually, over 3000 young New Zealanders from Northland to Southland attend a UN Youth event, run by a body of over 150 volunteers across the country who dedicate many hours of their time to engaging young people and growing the organisation.
