ABOUT THE EVENT
UN Youth Auckland is seeking passionate and driven volunteers to join the organising committee for Model Asia Pacific (MAP) 2026!
As Asia-Pacific becomes increasingly relevant in global politics - youth are often being left out of conversations that define their future. Model Asia Pacific (MAP) 2026 aims to change that. This event brings together passionate rangatahi from across the region to discuss real world issues. MAP is your platform to develop the tools, the confidence, and the networks to shape the Asia Pacific region.
MAP committee 2026 will be supported by Auckland Regional Council every step of the way. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to build upon existing skills in event management and international relations while gaining new ones. You will join a dedicated team of peers, building relationships and professional networks that extend far beyond the conference.

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.
