UN Volunteers amplify young voices in their pursuit of a future for all
The Arab States region is considered among the youngest in the world, with half its population under the age of 25. Thus, advancing youth empowerment and inclusion is one key area of activity for UN Volunteers serving with UN partners in the region. This article showcases the diverse ways in which UN Volunteers contribute to creating a future for all ages, while amplifying the voices of young people in various fields.
