IYC Founding Board |
In 2007, the International Youth Council (IYC) was founded at the 4th Annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations. The IYC is a civil society organization dedicated to giving young people across the world both collective voice and a mechanism to support global sustainable development.
VISION
To build a global forum and platform on which all young people can develop a unified voice and take collective action toward social, economic, and environmental progress.
MISSION
To provide educational resources, leadership opportunities, and a global network to support young people in developing entrepreneurial projects and campaigns to address global issues and support sustainable development on a local, regional and international level.
The International Youth Council (IYC) aims to promote sustainable development - social equity, environmental quality and economic viability - through cross-cultural, inter-generational partnerships and strategic initiatives with the United Nations, IGOs, NGOs, government missions and local organizations.
