About the Role
Are you passionate about politics and international relations? Interested in youth development and volunteering at a student-run event? Or just want to meet like-minded people? Then come and volunteer as a conference assistant at Wellington Model United Nations.
UN Youth is an organisation that focuses on providing civics education to high school students through events such as Model United Nations conferences. Wellington Model United Nations is the Wellington region's flagship event and is held over two action-packed days . This event is nothing without its volunteers and we’d love to see you join us in making this event special!
Volunteering as a Conference Assistant (CA) can involve lots of different things so there’s something for everyone! To be a CA you must have completed high school and be 25 years of age or younger to volunteer at this event. But no experience is needed, there'll be a training day for volunteers before the event that will give you a chance to learn more about your role at the conference, and it’s also a chance to get to meet your fellow volunteers and new friends. Registrations are open now and close on the 7th of March so get in quick and be a part of something awesome!

What is UN Youth?
UN Youth is a non-profit organisation focused on providing civics education beyond traditional classrooms. We involve youth in critical national and international affairs through immersive workshops and conferences. We aim to inspire young New Zealanders to be active, global citizens. Global citizenship takes diverse forms, and UN Youth offers opportunities for delegates to develop their own active citizenship style.
Our work equips young people throughout Aotearoa to become informed, engaged, and critical New Zealanders, understanding their global context and the links between local and global scales. Annually, over 3000 young New Zealanders attend UN Youth events, run by more than 150 volunteers across the country - dedicating many hours to engaging youth and growing the organisation.
