Are you passionate about integrity, ethics and anti-corruption? Are you between 18 and 30 years old? If so, we invite you to apply to become a member of the "YouthLED" Integrity Advisory Board, a key initiative within the Global Resource for Education Anti-Corruption and Youth Empowerment (GRACE) of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). ).
About the GRACE Initiative
The GRACE initiative aims to promote the education and empowerment of young people in the prevention and fight against corruption, fostering a culture of integrity among young people. We work with today's young people to develop tomorrow's leaders in transparency, responsibility and integrity.
At UNODC, we believe that young people should have the opportunity to influence global political dialogues on integrity and the fight against corruption. Sustainable, scalable and efficient solutions to corruption require the participation of those most affected by it - young people.
The YouthLED Integrity Advisory Board
Defending the principle "nothing about us without us", the GRACE initiative launched the YouthLED Integrity Advisory Council in 2022. The Council is made up of talented and motivated young people from around the world who are dedicated to anti-corruption efforts and promoting a culture of ethics.
Responsibilities of board members
YouthLED Board members play a vital role as "co-lead partners" of the GRACE team. They support the initiative's four cross-cutting principles: partnerships, innovation, gender and youth. Specific responsibilities include:
- Involvement and Consultation: Involvement with young people in their regions and worldwide in anti-corruption efforts.
- Strategic counselling: Provide insights and advice on the priorities of young people from different parts of the world.
- Advocacy: Promote anti-corruption initiatives in their communities and share best practices.
- Training and learning: Offering training opportunities based on GRACE tools and resources.
Commitment
The Council requires a time commitment of 1 to 3 hours per week, with occasional face-to-face events. Members must commit to serving for at least one year.
Application Criteria
We're looking for young people who:
- They must be between 18 and 30 years old at the time of enrolment.
- Have knowledge or experience of integrity, ethics and anti-corruption.
- They are connected with other young activists on a national, regional or global level.
