The UNA Youth Association Directory lists youth programs, youth associations, or youth sections of UNAs that are affiliated to WFUNA. The WFUNA Youth Network is an informal network of these youth sections and works to connect the different youth sections for information sharing and potential collaboration.
If you would like to include any information regarding the youth program, youth association, or youth section in your UNA, contact the WFUNA Youth Network. A member of the Youth Advisory Group would be happy to speak with you.

Get Involved With Your Local UNA Youth Association or Program
Most UNAs have youth programs, activities, and youth wings either within the UNA's scope of work or as a separate UN Youth Association (UNYA). You can find out more about how youth can get involved by contacting your local UNA directly.
You can play a unique and valuable role in building support for the UN in your own community. As a community activist, you can:
- help your UNA in its work to educate local communities;
- mobilize support for the UN;
- liaise with the media, educators, and public officials in countries and communities;
- and develop projects related to the work of the UN.
As a young person, you bring your own distinct voice and perspective to this work - shaping the future direction of your UNA and WFUNA.
