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.

Famous quotes containing the words structure of, structure and/or youth:
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.”
—V.S. (Victor Sawdon)
