The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Youth Forum is a biennial conference that brings together youth from over 80 countries to exchange views and identify shared opportunities to address global problems within UNESCO’s mandate. The outcome from the Forum will be forwarded to the UNESCO General Conference for consideration.

This year, the Youth Forum will be in October at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. The National Commissions for UNESCO may send up to two candidates to represent youth in their home country. At the Forum, youth delegates will be expected to share their experiences and seek ways that UNESCO can promote a better future for youth, within its mandate.

More information is available here.

The Career Services Center surveys UMBC students each semester to learn more about the part-time jobs students work while in school. Last spring, the average on-campus job hourly wage was $8.47, while the average hourly rate for off-campus jobs was $12.03. Of the students who responded, the average worked between 11-16 hours per week. We'll be sending out this survey again this semester; keep your eyes peeled later this month and share your part-time work experience!
