NYC Junior Ambassadors

Change the World

Welcome to MAELS NYC Junior Ambassadors. NYC Junior Ambassadors is an initiative focused on empowering 7th graders in all five boroughs of New York City to become actively engaged with the United Nations and its mission of addressing the most pressing challenges in the world as we prepare to become global citizens. The focus of MAELS Junior Ambassadors will be on undocumented immigrants and refugees. Our study will explore the reasons why people are forced to flee their country and seek refuge in the U.S. and other parts of the world, as well as the struggles they face upon arrival. Our news blog will be an up-to-date feed about the social and political struggles of those forced to flee their homeland.
