This unique Educational
Program was established by the Order of Odd Fellows in 1949 when the United
Nations was just a four year old “toddler.” Annually the UN Pilgrimage brings
together high school students from around the world to study and learn about the
United Nations. For young adults interested in world affairs, international relations,
economics and/or political sciences this is an opportunity of a lifetime to observe
the United Nations in person while exchanging views on education, politics and religion.
Students tour the United Nations building and listen to behind-the-scenes
briefings conducted by specialized United Nations agencies and departments
including Ambassadors, Minister Counselors and Country Representatives.
Each student (delegate) will participate in in-depth discussions with other young people
from around the world as well as make new and lifelong friends. In addition, students
experience one of the greatest cities in the world: New York. Attending a
Broadway play; St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Rockefeller Centre and much more.

In the years since it was established, over 45,000 people have participated in the
UN Pilgrimage. Growing in popularity, the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs United Nations
Pilgrimage for Youth program has been garnering growing public attention in the
United States, Canada and abroad. The National Association of Secondary School
Principals has placed this program on the advisory List of National Contests and Activities.

Expenses including transportation, meals, lodging and sightseeing are paid by the
Odd Fellow and Rebekah lodges in your community, and donations by corporations or
individuals. Students provide their own spending money.
