The Annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations (YA) gives young people a chance to participate in and influence the work of the UN General Assembly.

It aimed to help young people develop skills for their careers and provided opportunities for funding and mentorship of social ventures through The Resolution Project's challenges.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

7. …We met with the Pan American
Development Foundation
PADF is a strategic partner of the Organization of American States that was established in
1962 to implement socio-economic development programs and disaster assistance in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
Dr. Judith Hermanson, PADF Chief Operating
Officer (and, inaugural Director of NGOLD at
NIU), gave an introduction to the organizations
we were scheduled to meet.
She also talked about how PADF:
• Plays a role in international development
• Advances civil society
• Creates economic opportunities
• Promotes social progress
• Collaborates with the private sector
8. …Then we were off to InterAction
InterAction is an association of US-based international
nongovernmental organizations (INGOs). They have
over 190 members working in every developing
country.
InterAction attempts to shape public policy
related to relief and international
development issues such as:
• Foreign assistance
• Environment
• Health
• Education
Their members are at the forefront in
responding to disasters and crises worldwide
and InterAction plays an integral part in these
efforts.

15. Time for our first meeting of the day…
Congressman Peter Roskam represents Illinois’ sixth
district in the US House of Representatives. He is the
Chief Deputy Majority Whip, the fourth-ranking
Republican leader in the House.
We met with Representative Roskam’s
staff who shared insight about the:
• Political process
• Role of congressional staff
• Inner-workings of the office
• Importance of constituent services
They also talked about how nonprofits
can effectively advocate to elected
officials.
16. Next, was a tour of the
US Capital, led by one of
Representative Roskam’s interns…
17. Inside the capital building we saw:
• Original house chamber floor
• Many statues from every state
• Original Supreme Court
• House of Representatives Gallery
• Rotunda (which is amazing, by the way)
18. After lunch in the Longworth
House Office Building, we
headed to our next meeting…
19. …With Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity was started in 1976 and has
grown to become an international organization viewed
as the global leader in poverty housing.
We met with a panel of Habitat employees
and they talked about the advocacy they
perform at local, state, national, and
international levels. Their advocacy efforts
have greatly expanded in the last five years.
We learned they have presence in 80
countries, perform development work
globally, and hold an annual legislative
conference to increase awareness about
housing issues domestically and abroad.
20. The final event of the day was…
Advocacy AND Networking Night
…organized by the NIU Alumni Association
This was a great opportunity to connect with NIU
alumni, see firsthand the important role alumni play,
and mingle with other NIU students visiting DC.
21. The final day included three
meetings prior to flying home
22. …The first was with the
International Housing Coalition
IHC was started in 2005 and they work to effect policy in foreign
assistance through advocacy based on a broad coalition of varied
organizations. The advocacy efforts are integrated with their
engagement in housing and urban development applied research,
information sharing, and policy advice in various countries.
This meeting was really focused on advocacy and lobbying,
so we learned a lot more about the activities that go into
each…as well as the distinction between both.
We also talked about challenges facing nonprofits such as:
• Tight budgets
• Increasing competition
• The complexity of issues
• Communicating a compelling message
23. …Next, we met with AfriCare
AfriCare was founded in 1970 by Peace Corps members. Its mission is to improve the
quality of life for the people of Africa. To accomplish this mission, AfriCare focuses on
four important areas: Food Security, Water, Health, and Emergency Response.
They talked about how gender empowerment and
environmental issues factor into all of their programs.
We talked about the importance of monitoring and
evaluating programs…and doing needs assessment prior PLUS THEY GAVE US T-
to implementing projects to ensure it is actually needed. SHIRTS, KEYCHAINS,
AND OTHER COOL
The employees we met with also gave us excellent career
advice by talking about each of their respective career
STUFF…WHAT A
paths. GREAT MEETING!
24. …Our final meeting was back where it all
began…Pan American Development
Foundation
John Sanbrailo, PADF Executive Director,
talked to us about global civil society and
how the organizations we met with
contribute to that “big picture.”
This was a great way to tie together many
of the themes we talked about in our
meetings.
Then, Dr. Judith Hermanson concluded
the meeting by asking us what we gained
from the experience…
25. …And we said…
Not only was this a learning and
networking experience but an
opportunity to empower myself
and define my career path. Now,
I know that the nonprofit sector
offers countless opportunities to
grow as a professional while I
help my community.
- Maria Torres
26. …And we said…
This trip put advocacy in a
perspective that I could both
understand and be excited
about. Seeing it firsthand has
helped me learn how NGOs
actually work.
- David Anians
The trip was incredibly
insightful. Seeing recent
graduates involved in
very influential positions
in both national politics
and international non-
governmental work was
eye-opening.
- Jacob Buckrop
27. …And we said…
I think the most beneficial aspect of
the trip was actually meeting the
professionals who work behind the
scenes for these great NGOs... I was
surprised to learn that their past
experiences were actually really
varied. They all bring a unique skill
set to the organization, but I did
notice that few, if any, had a degree
specifically in nonprofit studies. It
makes me realize how fortunate we
are to have this innovative major
here at NIU.
- Amanda Insalaco
28. …And we said…
Meeting with the nonprofits enlightened me on
the importance of advocacy for these
organizations. It's one thing to hear about it in
class, but when you actually go out and talk to
people who work for these international
organizations and who do the hands-on work,
it puts advocacy in a new light.
- Isabelle Bourgeois
After visiting these NGOs and seeing firsthand
what they do, I have a better understanding
and a bigger interest in possibly pursuing a
career in advocacy.
