UN Youth Victoria is a not-for-profit youth organisation striving to open young eyes to the world.

 

We aim to educate young people about the United Nations, get them to engage with international issues and empower them to be part of positive change in the world.

We're run entirely by and for young people between the ages of 15 and 24. We hold events for school students including the Thant-Evatt Trophy Competition and annual State and Regional Conferences. We also run policy and members' events throughout the year.
