The Alliance for Regional Cooperation (ARC) has formed to work with Washington, DC Metro area businesses, consumers, and social enterprises to make them more aware of the benefits of engaging in explicitly regional economic activity.

ARC believes that encouraging sustainability-minded people and organizations to a default position of patronizing and supporting other local businesses, will help advance economic justice, sustainability, and cultural vitality in the region that now calls itself “the DMV” (representing DC, Suburban Maryland, and Northern Virginia).

Welcome to the McGill Youth Advisory Delegation (MYAD), an empowered youth-focused organization holding special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 2006. Our journey revolves around shaping policies that mirror the aspirations and concerns of the world’s youth.

Our mission is to amplify the voices of young individuals worldwide, ensuring their perspectives shape international policy.

Throughout the year, we meticulously research and craft youth-centered policy briefs for esteemed UN Commissions, including the Commission on the Status of Women and Commission on Social Development. These briefs serve as crucial advocacy tools, enabling us to advocate for youth-centric policies on a global scale. As our final initiative for the academic year, MYAD puts together a Youth Policy Report – the product of an entirely youth-led policy development process as well as community consultations, expert consultations, and knowledge sharing with youth-centered organizations.
