Youth Training Program
Introducing the next generation to the ideals of the United Nations
WFUNA offers a less intensive version of the program tailored to secondary and high school students who display an early interest in international affairs. The Youth Training Program (YTP) at the United Nations examines the activities of the UN and relevant global issues in a more relaxed setting. In addition, WFUNA will provide training and information on how to build a career within the UN system and with international NGOs.
