NGO CSW/NY Global Youth Fellows

Deadline: 9 Sep

Eligibility: Global

Description:  

The Youth Leaders & Young Professionals (YLYPs) are a community of young people and youth advocates who are passionate about global gender equality and looking to engage in or learn about UN processes, especially the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW).

Without consistent intergenerational conversation, we will not move the needle on gender equality. That is why NGO CSW/NY runs the YLYP program to empower youth to become more involved in the global women’s rights movement. The program’s mission is to allow youth to expand their networks and more effectively contribute their voice to global conversations surrounding women’s and girl’s rights.

Roles, responsibilities, and benefits:

We will need your commitment: You will have to attend a monthly meeting and deliver homework during the program.

• Financial award: Winners' organizations will receive USD 1,000 in award money in support of their ongoing work on gender equality.

• Publication: Have your story and activism featured in a multimedia publication.

• Youth Preparation Series: If selected you will have to direct a Youth Preparation Series at the YLYPs’ network and have an instrumental role in shaping the series.

• Instagram Takeover: “Take over” the NGO CSW/NY Instagram account to share your story, promote your work, and engage with the NGO CSW/NY community.

• Advocacy: Have the opportunity to engage in the advocacy efforts of NGO CSW/NY and its partners including advocacy training.

• Network: Access a global community of like-minded young advocates that lasts for years to come.

• Conversation Circles for in-person attendees at the CSW

• Speaking opportunities at the CSW forum

• Amplify your work within the NGO CSW/NY global community!
