The most critical role of the Youth Observer is to engage young Americans in the work of the UN, empowering them to be active participants to foster a greater global impact.

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 and 25 is selected to engage and connect young people in the U.S. to the work of the UN. The Youth Observer travels throughout the U.S. 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.
