UN Youth Queensland is a division of the largest youth-for-youth volunteer organisation that aims to educate and empower young people in Australia on domestic and global issues. We know that young people from all backgrounds and lived experiences have the vision and passion to create meaningful change within their communities and throughout the world. Our programs, designed by young people for young people, aim to equip young people with the skills and inspiration to create impactful change wherever we need it.
We run a broad range of peer-education programs that give the participants we reach a deep understanding of the social and political issues the world faces today, and the skills and drive to solve them. Within Australia, we organise a National Youth Conference, Evatt (a national Model United Nations competition based on the Security Council), Voice (a national problem-solving and pitching competition), and a wide variety of state and territory events. Internationally, we coordinate educational tours of Europe, Asia, New Zealand, and the United States of America for secondary school students. View our programs on our website here..
Our programs are participated in by young people 12 to 18 (typically in high school), completely organised by 18 to 25-year-old young people across Australia.
