Who are we?

 

The Young Professionals Network (YPN) brings together a diverse mix of young professionals who support a strong role for the UN in international affairs. The network provides opportunities for like-minded individuals to meet each other and to engage with politicians, academics, people who work in NGOs and influential members of the business community.

 

The network is administered by the United Nations Association of the UK (UNA-UK), our parent organisation.

 

Young Professionals for Peace, Justice and Sustainable Development

 

Who can join?

The only criteria for membership is that you are a young professional who shares our aspirations, and that you sign up to our mailing list! We will then keep you informed about our activities.
