Being there (Events)

Events at the Annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations are free of charge, contingent upon application and by invitation, only. 

Applications are subject to a non-refundable processing fee of $100 per person; no exceptions are possible.

A reduced application processing fee of $65 will be accepted for citizens of the least developed countries as defined by the United Nations.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: Group leaders must be able to pay for each and every group member in one sum during the on-line registration process.

The application processing fee is not refundable under any circumstances. We would like to remind you that we have to receive your registration fee net (after bank tax or fee).

 Why Make My Arrangements through the Conference Organizers?

  • Friendship Ambassadors Foundation together with our partners are offering affordable, comprehensive accommodations and meals packages, exclusive to Youth Assembly delegates - for delegates from out of town as well as for those locals who want to get the very most out of the activities. From breakfast networking sessions to new, late night events, these plans will ensure that you don’t miss a thing! 

  • Staying together adds a tremendous benefit to the delegates’ experience at the Assembly because it allows you informal time with fellow delegates, makes exploring the New York City easier and greatly enjoyable outside the planned activities. For your safety and security, as well as to make the entire experience affordable and complete, we strongly encourage this option during your stay. 

  • The goal of the packages is to offer affordable accommodation and special networking opportunities to participants. Travel Packages are optional and although highly recommended, they are not a prerequisite to attending the Assembly.
