History of UPY
UPY was formed on August 6, 2019, with the aim of being a youth organization that promotes the SDGs. In 2020, UPY turned one year old and managed to effectively consolidate itself as an organization, thanks to hard and sustained progress in the application of the organizational strategy.
Since then, more and more young people from various departments of the country such as Lima, Trujillo, Arequipa, Cusco, etc., have been supporting us with great leadership in our mission. With this growth our programs are established: UPY Learns, UPY Shares and UPY Impacts.
Each of our programs carries out different projects such as: Upy connect, upy courses, the debate club, Sharing knowledge online, Upy Mentorship, upy events, and the Project Hub.
That small group of young people with whom this story began has only gotten bigger with each passing year, reaching more young people from all corners of the country developing their leadership and that of their peers by learning, sharing and making an impact.
