Call for application: thematic focal points

The Children and Youth Constituency for Sustainable Communities (CYCSC) is recruiting Thematic Focal Points (TFPs). TFPs coordinate the Constituency's work within their respective thematic area by organizing outreach and mobilization activities. TFPs are volunteers chosen by a selection committee, for a term of one (1) year.

TFPs will be selected for each of the following five (5) thematic areas:

1. Housing - 1-2 TFPs
2. Health - 1-2 TFPs
3. Education - 1-2 TFPs
4. Employment - 1-2 TFPs
5. Climate Action - 1-2 TFPs

See here (pages 8-17, Annex 3) for detailed descriptions of each thematic area. See here (pages 15-19 Annex 4) for more details on TFPs' roles and responsibilities. TFPs may be individuals or organizations/entities, must be 29 years old or younger, and must be members of CYCSC.

A big part of TFPs' work this coming year will be organizing thematic consultations as part of a larger Global Youth Consultation on progress towards the New Urban Agenda. This consultation will culminate in a 'shadow report', to be published in 2022 following the Secretary-General's Quadrennial Report on the New Urban Agenda's implementation. See here for the Consultation's detailed Concept Note.
