What is the

GYR?

The YouthCubed Global Youth Representative Program allows selected youths to participate in conferences, forums, and other events of the United Nations and organisations under the UN System.


We understand that many youths and youth-led organisations lack the opportunities to participate in UN conferences, as they may lack the necessary requirements to gain access to the conference as civil society.


With this, through YouthCubed’s status as a registered civil society, we provide select youths opportunities to participate in select UN conferences.



Events

As of now, you can see confirmed events where YouthCubed has been successfully accredited for participation or have been successfuly accredited in previous iterations of the events, and is planning to send delegates to.


Depending on future accreditation status of YouthCubed to the United Nations, other events may be added without notice.


Final confirmation for participation in these conferences are under the authority of the conference secretariat or the United Nations.


YouthCubed holds no responsibility if selected representatives are unable to participate due to “force majeure”, or issues that we have no control over, such as the cancellation of the conference or rejection of the registration from the United Nations.
