Information Hub
Connecting UN staff, NYC agencies, and NYS offices through shared resources, events, and policy collaboration in the world's most international city.
Our Mission
New York City has hosted the United Nations since 1952. Over 25,000 international civil servants work in the same city as more than 300,000 municipal and state employees. Yet these communities rarely intersect.
UNNYC bridges that gap. We surface the shared geography, mutual policy interests, and collaborative opportunities between the UN community and New York's local and state government workforce.
This hub is a project of WeGovNYC, a nonprofit program of Sarapis, dedicated to making New York City the world's best municipal government. By tapping into the intellectual and social capacities of the UN workforce alongside local and state public servants, we're building the connective tissue between global expertise and city-level action.
