Throughout my summer internship at the UN Foundation, I have had the pleasure of being exposed to the many ways in which the Foundation is engaging with and for young people. From our stellar Girl Up Teen Advisors advocating for girls around the world to the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves’ commitment to keeping kids healthy and safe from indoor air pollution, the campaigns I work for inspire me every day to try and work toward a better future for people everywhere.
I am thrilled to see how my generation is making a difference around the world! But the work does not stop there. Everybody can get involved in the important work the campaigns do every day:
- Watch the Better World Campaign’s “My World. My UN.” video and join the conversation by engaging with the UN.
