ABOUT THE EVENT
For the first time ever, UN Youth Auckland is bringing the parliamentary experience home. This year, we are launching Auckland Model Parliament (AMP) 2026, and we need a team to help us build it from scratch!
As the Asia-Pacific region defines the global 21st century, our rangatahi deserve a seat at the table. We’re looking for committee members who would like to innovate, and help design a new event for this region with the support of 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.
