World Bank Youth to Youth Conference Highlights

The conference is part of the United Nations Week celebrations. Every year, UNA-NCA (United Nations Association of the National Capital Area) commemorates the day the Charter of the United Nations went into effect (October 24th, 1945) by organizing a week of conferences and events with several partners in the capitol area. Y2Y is proud to collaborate with UNA-NCA and host the Global Youth Conference as part of these events.

The Global Youth Conference is presented by the Youth-to-Youth Community (Y2Y) of the World Bank. Y2Y is a community of young staff within the World Bank. Y2Y's mission is to mainstream youth issues within the World Bank and the broader development community and to engage with young people around the world through a participatory and demand driven approach. The conference is one of Y2Ys main products and is organized by a dedicated and enthusiastic network of Y2Y volunteers. In previous years, the conference has attracted audiences of more than 300 individuals from around the world.
