The People Speak
Issue Area: UN-US Relations
An important element in our efforts to advocate global progress and to aid the UN in its missions is the engagement of people everywhere of all ages, but particularly young people who have the power to make a difference.
The People Speak (TPS) was created in 2003 to promote and support youth who have a passion for global issues by providing opportunities for debate and leadership, and by encouraging creativity and initiative through the use of technology and the power of ideas. More than 75,000 TPS activities to date have reached youth in all 50 states and in 88 countries.
