- Fill in the on-line application form (links provided below)

When your application is reviewed and approved, you will be issued a Formal Acceptance Letter. You will need to bring this with you to the Youth Assembly Registration in August, as this will serve as your “assembly ticket”.
Apply for a US visa (if necessary).

Complete your registration according to the instructions in your Formal Acceptance Letter.

All applicants please note:

Understanding that the annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations grows out of a relationship with the NGO community affiliated with the Department of Public Information and others, thereby the events are to be primarily informational and inspirational. The YA is NOT for the preparation of plenary statements or petitions and the like; the YA is an idea leadership event that offers practical advice, guidance, networking, and outreach to those who attend.

Application processing fees:

Regular applications: $85 if you pre-register!*

Least Developed Countries: $45 if you pre-register!* Delegates from these countries must present their identification card at the registration desk prior to the Assembly to verify their eligibility for the reduced fee in order to receive their entrance passes. Delegates who fail to verify their eligibility will be required to pay the difference plus $5 handling fee on spot or be denied admittance to the Assembly.

Groups of 12 or more people: $45 per person if you pre-register!*Group leaders must be able to submit the names of each and every group member during the on-line registration process and pay for all applicants in one sum.

*Pre-registration ends on January 15, 2010 - after this date, regular application processing fees apply.

The application processing fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether or not you are accepted to participate in the Assembly. No applications will be reviewed until payment is received! No exceptions possible.
