Visits to the UN

NYC Junior Ambassadors from Robert F. Wagner Jr. (Queens) learning about the “Goldren Rule” painting by Norman Rockwell during their visit to the United Nations Headquarters.

Each NYC Junior Ambassadors classroom participates in a curated guided visit of the United Nations Headquarters. These visits provide youth with an opportunity to visit a site of global importance and enable program participants to engage with experts on their topics of interest. Each visit is comprised of an hour-long tour of the United Nations and an hour briefing. Youth during these visits are given the opportunity to reflect on the importance of the UN in their lives and those of people worldwide. They are also given the chance to identify clear actions they could take to make a difference.
