Citation preview
IYAN is an inclusive network that needs the participation of Youth Ambassadors to gain strength in order to accomplish its objectives. Youth Ambassadors from all countries are welcome to share their stories, projects,
ideas, recommendations, etc. There is immense potential in our network. From the basics of sharing and learning from different activities and projects to, for instance, grant opportunities to successful projects.
It all depends on you, on us! Together, WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!
BEGINNINGS
The idea of a network of Youth Ambassadors never belonged to a single generation of YAs. Arguably, every generation had the wish of perpetuating the YAs experience and attempting its institutionalization over time. Nevertheless, It was the 2009 generation that took concrete steps to make the network a reality. Using Facebook platforms, YAs from different countries worked together to craft the proposition of the first YA Summit ever. With the help of Partners of the Americas, this project proposal reached the US Department of State, which gladly sponsored it.
First Youth Ambassadors Summit - Panama City, Panama December 3rd-5th 2010
Partners of the Americas convened 50 youth leaders from 19 countries in Panama to launch the International Youth Ambassadors Network at the first-ever Youth Ambassador Summit. The Summit was focused on creating innovative opportunities to help youth develop leadership skills and cultivate a new generation of leaders in the region.
MISSION

Americas.
To connect ALL national Youth Ambassador networks (or their equivalent) and other organizations with alike and related objectives, through information technologies and communication, offering a youthful and enjoyable atmosphere full of camaraderie, trust, and solidarity to exchange, share, improve, and develop service-oriented ideas
in order to impact in a positive way nationally and internationally.
