Call for Applications

Calling all young leaders aged 18-25! The ECOSOC Youth Forum 2025 is scheduled for April 15-17, 2025, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. This annual event provides a platform for youth to engage in dialogue with Member States and other stakeholders, sharing their perspectives and contributing to the advancement of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Government of Canada, in partnership with the Inter-Council Network, is looking to identify two inspiring Youth Delegates to represent Canada on the international stage at this year’s ECOSOC Youth Forum. As a Youth Delegate, you will have the unique opportunity to deliver Canada’s national statements, actively participate in Forum sessions, side-events and receptions, and network with fellow Youth Delegates, Member State representatives, and United Nations officials. The experience will offer valuable exposure to multilateral processes at the United Nations and empower you to amplify youth voices in global decision-making on sustainable development.

The deadline for applications is March 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Atlantic Time.
