Through my involvement in the U.S. YAC UNOD, I was able to take on responsibilities that challenged me to think critically, communicate effectively, and collaborate with diverse stakeholders towards a common goal. Whether it was spearheading advocacy campaigns, organizing events, or representing our collective voice in high-level discussions, each experience contributed to my personal and professional growth in profound ways.

Moreover, the supportive and collaborative environment within the U.S. YAC UNOD fostered a sense of confidence in my abilities to undertake leadership roles in the future. The mentorship, guidance, and encouragement received from fellow members and mentors empowered me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.
