Campus Chapters

The campus chapters aim to unite young individuals and support the work of the UN. On campus, you can find our club hosting events and fundraisers, tabling to raise awareness on our most relevant issues, partnering with other clubs, and connecting with like-minded individuals and organizations with the intention of promoting and supporting the UN's work and strong USA-UN relations.

We encourage students of all majors to join. If you are interested in international affairs, opportunities for professional growth, opportunities for travel, networking, or creating meaningful change on a local level then this club is for you!
