The UN Youth Champion has been traveling the world for the past year, meeting and getting to know today’s youth up close and personal.

Monique will wrap up her tour at the beginning of August in New York, where she will then be hosting the International Year of Youth Culmination Celebration held at UN Headquarters. The day-long event will feature a press conference and series of events that will be heard around the world, commemorating the first International Year of Youth to occur in 25 years.

On August 11th, 192 female delegates, reflecting the number of members of the General Assembly, ages 11-24, will join together at UN Headquarters to participate in the Culmination Celebration. These delegates will be selected from various organizations that support girls and young women, among them a group Monique encountered during her tour.
