Funded Spots for Youth Action Day at UN Summit

The United Nations is inviting young Maldivians aged 18-30 to apply for a funded opportunity to attend the Summit of the Future Youth Action Day on September 20th. This exciting event is part of a two-day initiative focused on bringing together diverse stakeholders to create impactful solutions for a better future.

The Summit of the Future Action Days, taking place on September 20th and 21st at UN headquarters in New York, aims to foster collaboration between governments, civil society, businesses, young people, and more. The goal is to generate concrete actions and commitments on pressing issues, amplify existing initiatives, and ensure the Summit leads to lasting progress.

A dedicated half-day program on September 20th, led by the UN Youth Office, will be the centerpiece for youth engagement. This Youth Action Day provides a platform for young leaders to raise their voices on critical issues that impact their lives, the future, and generations to come.

The UN Youth Office will sponsor up to 10 young people to attend the Action Days in person, ensuring their active participation in the Youth Action Day.

A committee representing the UN Youth Office, youth organizations, and aging advocacy groups will choose participants. They will prioritize a balanced group with diverse genders, nationalities, and backgrounds, ensuring voices from under-represented groups are heard.
