Youth in Global Community Visit UN

Donation protected
St. George's Episcopal Church in Fredericksburg VA is excited to send our youth to the UN for the third year. They are headed to New York City on March 7-11 to experience the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW59) and a teen's outlook on how this affects their future.

Our Youth in Global Community Group is a vibrant handful of teens comprised of 3 young men and 2 young women, involved in not only their churches and synagogue but Fredeicksburg All Ages, Amnesty International, and Model United Nations. Two of our male group members have been asked to sit on a Boy/Girl Panel at the Working Group on Girls Teen Orientation at UNCSW59.  As with the past trips, the teens will work closely with the Episcopal Church Center and will enjoy attending a variety of parallel events that are specific to their interests along this topic. The GoFundMe account is to help with traveling expenses and hotel accommodations for this trip. Our focus has been the danger of a single story, micro finance, education in the developing world and how media affects the general population, and violence against women and girls as we look forward to The Beijing Platform for UNCSW59. Please consider giving generously to assist these great young people as they explore their world and their response to the needs of that world as people of faith.
