United Nations Association in Canada Growing Global Citizens in Canada
Advancing the UN's mission in Canada
Working collaboratively with Canadian leaders and global representatives, we champion the UN's vision for peace, sustainability, and human rights at home and abroad.
Growing peace at the grassroots
By sharing personal experiences and field missions, peacekeepers like Kelly Willis inspire local and global efforts to build trust, resilience, and long-term stability in conflict-affected communities.
Reducing inequalities
Youth leaders and advocates from diverse backgrounds come together at global forums to influence policies aimed at addressing systemic barriers and promoting social and economic equity worldwide.
Building common ground
United under a shared vision, youth delegates and future changemakers engage in cross-cultural dialogue to strengthen international cooperation and mutual understanding.
Strengthening the green economy
Empowering youth through sustainable internships and climate-focused programs, we’re building a workforce ready to lead in a low-carbon, environmentally responsible future.
Promoting universal values
Through education, diplomacy, and community action, we uphold the fundamental values of the UN Charter—dignity, freedom, justice, and equality for all.
Investing across generations
From mountain retreats to mentoring programs, intergenerational initiatives foster environmental stewardship, civic engagement, and inclusive leadership for future sustainability.

Land Acknowledgement
The United Nations Association in Canada offices are located on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation. We believe that social justice in Canada and globally depends on reconciliation with all Indigenous peoples, including the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, who are the original guardians of the land we are grateful to be sharing.
