I recently got accepted into a high school internship program at the United Nations in NYC this summer. The internship runs for five weeks and we have the opportunity to attend our choice of open committee meetings and meet with UN representatives towards the purpose of writing and presenting a research topic.
It is run by an NGO called the Temple of Understanding. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the organization or has attended the internship during past summers. I am trying to get more of a feel for what the experience will be like.
If anybody has done any sort of work at the UN in NYC, are there any important points I should know either about the UN itself or what I should expect?
