Get Ready: The UN Wants YOU to Be a Leader!
Big news! The UN Youth Office just started looking for the next 17 Young Leaders for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals are like a big plan to make the world better—like stopping poverty, helping the planet, and making sure everyone is treated fairly.
Every two years, they pick amazing young people aged 15 to 35 who are already doing awesome things to help..
If you get chosen, you’ll work with the United Nations and other big groups to tell everyone about these goals. You’ll help make the world a better place! Know someone who’s doing great stuff? Tell them to apply now before April 18, 2025!
