There is a saying: The more things change, the more they remain the same. I have been noticing that, myself, lately. This year, the Foundation invited Ms. Tami Kesselman to join us as the YA Co-‐Chair. She has brought us new and fresh ideas, a wide assortment of extremely impressive speakers and panelists, and a clear vision that adds to the success of the program. We are proud to have her with us. Last September, in Bonn, I was asked to be Treasurer for the UN Department of Public Information conference. There nearly 2000 NGO leaders began to form what may become the new, SDGs: the
Sustainable Development Goals, for the future beyond the current MDGs. Finally, this June, the UN (and many well-‐connected young people!) met again in Rio to examine the pressing issue of sustainability. New people, new paradigms, new energy but all in response to eternal challenges that are indicative of our human frailties. The struggles, opportunities, and crises we face remain the ones we faced before, in different incarnations or forms. A great writer once noted that the world seems doomed nearly every day, but always makes it ‘by the skin of its teeth’ and moves on. To that I will add that these new forces, changes, people, and ideas all help us understand anew the human condition and our longstanding challenges to promote peace and development. And, this is the value of a youthful eye on these age-‐old issues, now and forever more. Although the issues never seem to change, it is up to you as youth to help move humanity forward as it implements new techniques and inventions that will affect each of those challenges and opportunities in brand new and indefinable ways. This is your moment; make the most of it, and help each other. Now, like the MDGs to the SDGs, help bring the concept of ‘development’ out of the past into a new and brighter focus and future for us all. Seize the day!
With many thanks to our talented professional and intern youth staff. When you see them, please thank them for making this YA a powerful event:

Venue Notes: Due to the Capital Master Plan (CMP) at the United Nations and the Rio+20 Summit (which moved an important arms treaty back into conflict with our schedule), the Youth Assembly this year will take advantage of the entire, extended UN campus for its program. We will of course open and close in the UN General Assembly Hall. In fact, the YA will be one of the very last major events in the GA prior to its long overdue closure for major renovations as part of the CMP. That makes our presence here, where so many other major world figures have stood, even more special. Other venues: We will also conduct some programming at the North Lawn Building, in the “ECOSOC Chamber,” the Church Center of the United Nations (CCUN), the Church of the Holy Family (which facilitated the visit by a Pope to the UN as well as the recent “Convocation on the Rights of the Child” in 2012, among many other UN related events) and Sentry Center, a venue of choice for many UN Mission meetings with the Secretary General. CCUN and Holy Family Church are nearby, just off 1st Avenue, on 44th and 47th Street, respectively. Sentry Center is on the 17th-‐27th floors of 730 3rd Avenue, between 45th and 46th streets. Please ask our excellent, youth intern staff for any directions and thank you in advance for your understanding.

SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
CREATING
A CONNECTED WORLD “Unwired Generation” is more than just a theme for this Youth Assembly. It is a shift in possibilities enabled by the rapid advancement of technology combined with the innovative enthusiasm of the next generation of leaders, YOUR generation. We are grateful to Skanz for helping to connect you to each other, both during the Youth Assembly at the UN, and as a community online long after we adjourn. Thank you Skanz for donating the bands. None of this would be possible without you!
We are grateful to Two Degrees for their yummy snacks. And, even more, for being an inspiring model we can emulate in eliminating hunger abroad while improving health at home! While NGOs and generous donors have often been the most heavily leaned upon to help achieve most MDGs up until now, Two Degrees reminds us that individuals like us, translating ordinary purchases into specific donations of meals, could make an even greater global impact. And anyone, of any age, at any income level, can help! Thank you Two Degrees for donating the bars. You keep our energy up and our thoughts global!
ARCADIS’ mission is to improve the quality of life around the world by creating places of distinction and providing sustainable solutions that enhance the built and natural environments. As an international company that provides consultancy services in Infrastructure, Water, Environment and Buildings, ARCADIS understands our role as a trusted consultant, as an employer, and as a corporate citizen supporting societal advances and global economic stability. This led us to significant partnerships with the UN to include our membership in the UN Global Compact, our creation of the SHELTER program, a UN HABITAT partnership, and our sponsorship of the World Urban Campaign.
We are proud to support and work alongside future leaders of public policy and private enterprise at the Youth Assembly so that we may collectively envision a better world, and then engineer it.
