The United Nations Association of New York

With the United Nations Headquarters an iconic part of our skyline, the United Nations Association of New York (UNA-NYC) is uniquely placed to advance the movement of Americans dedicated to supporting the UN.
We connect New Yorkers with the UN, raising public awareness of its work and the critical issues it confronts. Our fellowship and professional development programs empower students and young professionals who wish to support the UN in their careers. Through these activities and through strategic partnerships with other organizations, we work to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in the UN’s own backyard, here in New York City.
UNA-NYC is one of the largest and most active chapters of the United Nations Association of the USA (UNA-USA). Founded in 1943 and championed by Eleanor Roosevelt, UNA-USA has since 2010 been a program of the UN Foundation and is a member of the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA). While UNA-NYC is a chapter of UNA-USA, we operate as an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and secure our own funding through individual giving, sponsorships, and events.
