Structure of UN Youth
Established around 1970, UN Youth has developed into a national organisation, with regional divisions, and associations with many other Australian youth organisations.
The national structure of UN Youth comprises eight divisions; one for each State or Territory represented in Parliament. Divisions meet twice a year with the National Executive in sessions of National Council. Each division is run independently of each other, and collaborate to undertake national events and programs, such as the UN Youth National Conference.
At a national level, UN Youth is represented by a National Executive and various national office bearers. These members are responsible for the day-to-day representation of the divisions at a national level, and the running national events and resources.
