About UN Youth Seychelles

UN Youth Seychelles

We are a Youth-Led Non-profit, Non-Governmental organisation acting ‘Glocal’ to mold conscious leaders . We as members of the organisation commit to promote the Global Goals and youth engagement in leadership roles nationally and internationally.

To lead the promotion of the Global Goals engaging youth nationally and internationally, and develop ‘glocal’ citizens active in moulding conscious leaders.

The NGO was founded by Ms Annarose Clarisse, at the age of 22 years who was inspired to set it up following attendance of the United Nations Youth Assembly in August 2016 at the UN headquarters in New York. Keen to facilitate access to such opportunities for local youth and to work towards projects that contributed towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the first AGM for UN Youth Seychelles was held on December 08, 2016 in order to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and create a global network of socially-aware youth committed to achieving the SDGs. Thereafter, numerous projects were developed and implemented focused on youth empowerment and the SDGs.

UN Youth Seychelles does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, disability, creed, religion, ethnicity, or social origin.

Our Logo

Our logo was expressly designed to incorporate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and youth of Seychelles. In the middle we have the shape of one of the 115 islands in Seychelles. The biggest and most inhabited one. This is surrounded by 17 spikes on the sides represent the 17 which are the global goals that UN Youth Seychelles vowed to contribute towards. The shape outlined represents the Coco de mer. The biggest nut in the world found in Seychelles and on the far right we have a representation of youth holding the Seychelles flag.
