The UN Global Youth Leadership Summit that will take place at United Nations headquarters in October 2006 will provide a global platform for young people, enabling them to speak out and become full partners in the effort to reach the Millennium Development Goals. The Summit will charge the youth leaders gathered from all regions of the world with the task of motivating others and building local networks, as well as staying connected to a global team of dedicated young people. They are expected to propose a new United Nations focus on cultivating youth leadership.
