UN Youth  Australia, believing in the purposes and principles of the United Nations, aims to encourage young people to strive towards a greater understanding of global issues, and to educate them about the United Nations' structure, functions and future. Operating as a national network of young volunteers, UN Youth Australia is based firmly on a philosophy of best practice youth-for-youth leadership.

UN Youth Australia aims to develop students' skills in vital areas such as debating, negotiation, leadership, problem-solving and understanding of international affairs in an accessible and supportive environment. By encouraging young people to discuss and debate important issues amongst their peers and the broader community, UN Youth Australia gives voice to the concerns of young people. Ultimately, UN Youth Australia plays a dual role as an educational and advocacy body for Australia's young people.

Next year, UN Youth Australia want to give passionate high school students the opportunity to make a difference in Timor Leste, one of the youngest countries in the world. This year 13 young people made their way to Timor Leste for a month, brushing shoulders with President Ramos Horta and Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd, and providing financial and project based support to a rural boarding house known as 'Encouragement House' in Maliana.

 "my trip to Timor Leste was absolutely amazing. We were the first Australian students ever to visit one of the rural school and lived like locals for 6 days... This Destination Dreaming trip changed the way I view the world and I would be genuinely surprised if it didn't for anyone who undertakes it." -Asher Kosma (17 years old)

"our ability to make a difference on this trip made it stand apart from other travel experiences. Making a positive impact and discovering  culture that is so fulfilled and content with so little..."-Grant Duthie (17 years old)
