Eleanor's Mission

In 1953, Eleanor Roosevelt, walked into the UNA-USA office and offered to build the organization’s national membership as a volunteer leader. That moment marked the beginning of Mrs. Roosevelt’s legacy, which ultimately created the largest movement of UN advocates in the world.

Until her death in 1962, Mrs. Roosevelt traveled across the country speaking of the importance of the United Nations, inspiring local leaders and leaving behind a network of UNA-USA chapters in communities and on college campuses across America. It is this legacy, and network, that forms the foundation of UNA-USA’s mission and work to this day.
