The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (UN MDGs) summarize the objectives agreed upon at the 1990s international conferences and world summits. In September 2000, world leaders distilled the key goals and targets in the Millennium Declaration and from that  the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) worked to write a concise set of eight goals that the United Nations hopes to achieve by 2015.


With less than a decade before the UN MDGs are supposed to be achieved, we at One World Youth Project believe it is very important to inspire youth to take positive action toward these goals. 

We provide a year's worth of free curriculum on each MDG to teachers participating in One World Youth Project.  This curriculum can also be accessed on our website free of cost.

Each sister-school pair in our program is assigned a focus MDG in September. Sister-schools explore their MDG through curriculum, communication online and by letter, and ultimately take positive action on their assigned UN Millennium Development Goal through a collaborative community service project.
