Calling all dynamic young leaders and organizations eager to help stage an international conference and would like to expand their social network locally and throughout the Asia Pacific region.
There will be a General Assembly (open to both members and non-members) for volunteers and project team heads for the 10th year anniversary celebration of the World Youth Alliance (WYA).
What is the World Youth Alliance?
The World Youth Alliance (WYA) is a global coalition of young people committed to promoting the dignity of the person and building solidarity among youth from developed and developing nations. We train young people to work at the regional and international levels to impact policy and culture. Through this lived experience of the dignity of the person, young people are able to affirm life at all levels of society. Founded in 1999, WYA now has regional offices in Africa (Nairobi), Asia Pacific (Manila), Europe (Brussels), Latin America (Mexico City) and North America (New York) and embraces over 1 million members from over 100 nationalities.
Next year will be a momentous year for WYA as it celebrates its 10th year of untiring work towards creating a deeper understanding of human dignity and the promotion of solidarity among the world’s nations. All five regions will be staging their respective celebrations.
