NEW YORK, NY – On August 22-24, the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA) organized a Mission Possible International Agents of Change Conference inviting students from India, Singapore and New York City who have made the pledge to become global citizens, or Agents of Change.

NEW YORK – WFUNA welcomed sixteen high school students from the Republic of Korea this past week for another Training at the UN. This is the third group from the Hope to the Future Association to visit the WFUNA New York office since the partnership with the Korean educational organization began in early 2013. The participants engaged in an eventful five-day program focusing on the UN in New York, Sustainable Development, Peace and Security, and how young people could start impacting the world today.
