Thank you for your interest in hosting the Director of WYA North America on you campus. We need your help to spread WYA's message of dignity, solidarity and person-centered development to young people across the globe!

The North American Director is available to speak on WYA's work at the United Nations and to present specialized seminars on authentic development, HIV/AIDS, and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs).

Event Budget

The speaker fee for our North American Director includes all travel costs, accommodations, meals, gratuities, taxes and educational materials. A general budget of $700 - $2000 is suggested. For amounts specific to your speaker request, contact us at northamerica@wya.net.    

The speaker fee is due the day of the event. If paying the speaker fee is a problem, the North American Director may choose to work with the student/sponsoring group to determine a practical alternative payment plan.  

Fundraising

Most colleges and universities maintain a student activities account to help fund lectures and presentations. We recommend requesting funding from your university to help sponsor a speaker. You may also want to co-sponsor the lecture with another campus group to share costs.

Publicity

In addition to placing an ad in the campus newspaper, the sponsoring organization should coordinate other promotional activities, including posters, e-mails, flyers, and press releases.

Again, thank you for your interest. If you have further questions or would like to schedule a presentation, please contact us at 212.585.0757 or northamerica@wya.net. We hope to hear from you soon!
