What do they do?
UNYANZ serves as the Youth arm of the United Nations Association of New Zealand. It provides the opportunity for youth to express themselves, learn about the United Nations and provide positive solutions for the future.
How can I get involved?
UNYANZ provides many opportunites for young New Zealanders to learn about the operation of the UN and become involved in civil society in New Zealand.
By becoming a member, you can participate in events like the New Zealand Model United Nations. Held annually in Wellington, this event brings together over 250 high school students from all around the country to debate and represent United Nations member states. This is a great opportunity to learn more about how the UN works and also about world affairs. Similar events are run at a regional level in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.
UNYANZ has also become active in Universities where studuents can involve themselves in Model Security Council events, including the New Zealand Model Security Council Competition.
