UNA-USA is looking for a poised, internationally-engaged young American to become the next UNA-USA Youth Observer for the 2025-2026 year. The UNA-USA Youth Observer to the UN elevates youth voices in the global policy dialogue around international issues. For a one-year term, an American between the ages of 18-25 is selected to engage and connect young people in the U.S. to the work of the United Nations. The Youth Observer travels throughout the United States to discover the issues important to young Americans and participates as a UNA-USA delegate at UN conferences.
Congress is home this month — it’s our chance to advocate for strong U.S. engagement at the UN. Use the August Recess Toolkit to prepare for in-district meetings, bring the FY26 postcard, and report back with your Recess Report Card.
