UNYA Australia Youth Representative 2010

The Youth Representative will travel around Australia to speak with young people from all
walks of life, taking their voice to the United Nations in New York. Throughout the process,
the Youth Representative works closely with DFAT and UNYA, and has particular support
from the National Vice-President (Youth Representation).

In the position of Youth Representative, the successful candidate should display the ability to consult widely with young people and effectively discern youth opinion, as well as prioritising youth issues. The other main expectation of the Youth Representative is that the selected person will be able to represent the views of young people at the United Nations General Assembly, and execute a youth agenda within the parameters of the Australian Delegation’s set role.

Applications are open to any Australian citizen aged between 15 and 24 (birth date
must be after 14/11/1985). Applicants must be available to travel throughout Australia to
consult widely with young people from early March 2010 until August 2010 and must also
be available to travel to New York City in September 2010 for up to eight weeks.
