Youth Leadership Institute builds communities where young people and their adult allies come together to create positive community change. For over 20 years, we have sparked change through our California community-based programs--in San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo and Fresno Counties--and our national Training and Consulting Services. The Youth Leadership Institute leads the way in engaging youth in several key areas of community change, including food access, youth philanthropy, educational equity, civic engagement, and prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. YLI is committed to engaging and developing young people of color, low-income youth, and other non-traditional leaders as agents for social justice.

The World Federation of UN Associations (WFUNA) is a global nonprofit organization representing and coordinating a membership of over 100 national United Nations Associations (UNAs) and their thousands of constituents. Based at the United Nations in New York and in Geneva, we are the largest international network of people supporting and engaging with the United Nations. Guided by our vision of a United Nations that is a powerful force in meeting common global challenges and opportunities, WFUNA is a civil society organization that works to strengthen and improve the United Nations. We achieve this through the engagement of people who share a global mindset and support international cooperation – global citizens. The WFUNA Secretariat is currently led by Secretary-General Aziel Philippos Goulandris and his staff in New York, Geneva, and Seoul. The President of WFUNA is Dr. Shawn Chen, entrepreneur with a focus on education. WFUNA's programmatic areas cover the three pillars of the United Nations: - Peace & Security - Sustainable Development - Human Rights

Our purpose is to teach youth about human rights, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and inspire them to become advocates for tolerance and peace.
