The UNOPS Youth Engagement Platform (YEP) offers a unique, high-profile opportunity for emerging changemakers to advise UNOPS leadership and contribute youth-informed perspectives to strategic decision-making.

This 12-month home-based internship allows you to influence policies, initiatives, and projects across the UNOPS organization while collaborating with peers from around the world.

UNOPS, the United Nations Office for Project Services, delivers infrastructure, procurement, project management, and operational solutions for sustainable development globally.

The Youth Engagement Platform, under the motto “30 below 30, to get 2030”, was established by the UNOPS Executive Director to bring the voices, creativity, and lived experiences of young people directly into high-level decision-making.

This is more than an internship: it is a platform for innovation, policy influence, and thought leadership. While participation is on a pro-bono basis, it offers unparalleled exposure to the UN system, professional development, and the chance to represent youth perspectives in internal and external forums. Compensation is provided solely for travel undertaken on behalf of UNOPS.
