Michael J. Nyenhuis,
President and CEO of UNICEF USA

What role do we, as young leaders, play in shaping a brighter, more equitable world? At NAIMUN LXII, we’ll explore this important question with our keynote speaker, Michael J. Nyenhuis, President and CEO of UNICEF USA.

Michael has dedicated his career to championing human and child rights and tackling global challenges head-on. His leadership demonstrates how diplomacy and collaboration can drive real, lasting change for young people everywhere. Under Michael’s leadership, UNICEF USA prioritizes youth engagement and civic participation in addressing global challenges like health inequities, education gaps, climate change, and more. UNICEF understands that empowering young voices and leadership is key to creating lasting solutions. Through initiatives like Model UN and the UNICEF Clubs program, young people across the country are given the tools to take action locally and advocate for children’s rights globally.
