Description
The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental
organization tasked to promote international co-operation and to create
and maintain international order. A replacement for the ineffective League
of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after
World War II in order to prevent another such conflict.
National UN Volunteers are invaluable assets to the work of
the United Nations, particularly at the community level where they usher in
greater ownership of programmes and projects. They are providing
opportunities to youth to change the world for the better while
simultaneously honing your own skills, gaining knowledge and a better
understanding of the realities of international development and peacebuilding.
