Introducing the World Youth Alliance Europe (October-December 2008)
The last three months of my life have been filled with exciting experiences, as well as new people with different backgrounds and ideas, but still with very similar goals in life. The point is that here I am now, living in Brussels, being part of this youth organization that has directed my life in an […]
New York City Adventure
Last Saturday Gina Fullam (a summer 08 intern) and I were able to see months of our work come to fruition in the New York City Adventure. Twenty high school and college students joined us on a somewhat gray Saturday to run around New York to better understand the work of WYA and this wonderful […]
Sweet Solidarity
At WYA, one of our goals is to promote solidarity among young people around the globe. After three weeks as an intern, I have realized that the first step in promoting global solidarity is building solidarity among the young people here in the WYA house. Solidarity sounds like a lofty, abstract concept, right? That’s what […]
Fall at WYA North America
Welcome fall 2008. It has been a couple weeks since we have updated the blog, mostly because we were in transition. All of the summer interns have packed up and left, and we had a couple wonderful weeks when all of World Youth Alliance’s International Staff came here to New York. Our directors and directors […]
Finishing Up the Summer
“Goodbye to another summer,” reads the gmail-chat tag line of one of our summer interns here, Clare, who has already gone back to university in New Brunswick.

Todos los que hemos pasado por la experiencia de estudiar algo difícil ya sea por el contenido de la materia, la temática, la profundidad de los asuntos, el idioma en el que se encuentra y otras menesteres, lo que más agradecemos es tener un buen profesor. Aquel que dedica tiempo a preparar su materia, corrige […]
Viva la Gioventù
Last week, the World Youth Alliance hosted around 90 Italian high school students and their youth leaders.

XVII International AIDS Conference – Being a Player Worth Engaging
I think I can safely speak for all members of the World Youth Alliance (WYA) delegation to the XVII International AIDS Conference when I say that Thursday was a big day for us. Since Tuesday, our language on couples testing, development, denial as a catalyst for AIDS and immigration policies had been distributed at various […]
