Global Education
Each year GL-UNA sponsors student & educator awards for outstanding contributions to Global Education and International Understanding.
SDG Awards
Every year we recognize community members who have helped develop any of the Sustainable Development Goals through their work or volunteer service.
Vandenberg Award
This award honors MI US Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg who led the approval of the US government as a founding and charter member of the UN.
Sustainable Development Goals
On September 25th 2015, countries of the UN adopted a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years.
For the goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part: governments, the private sector, civil society and people like you.
