ABOUT THE EVENT
UN Youth Auckland’s beginner-friendly event exploring the Asia-Pacific is back again this year!
Running on the 8th and 9th of August at the University of Auckland, this event will give students the opportunity to represent a country from Asia or the Pacific as they work with other delegates to create constructive solutions to real-world problems.
Events such as MAP can only take place with the support of volunteers. Volunteers work together to run every aspect of the event to make sure that we deliver a high quality experience to our delegates.
The volunteer roles available are Chair, Committee Facilitator, Logistics Officer, Welfare Officer, Media Officer, MPI Liaison, and LGBTQIA+ Liaison.
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.
