History & Mission

Founded in 1946, the United Nations Association is a movement of Americans committed to the ideals of global engagement. With more than 20,000 members and 200 Chapters across the country, we are dedicated to educating, inspiring, and mobilizing Americans to support the principles and vital work of the United Nations. 

UNA Sacramento has been in operation since 1955 and has been a staple of the Sacramento community for decades. We are 100% volunteer run, and every day we work to bring the broader mission of the UNA to our Greater Sacramento community. Our mission includes providing informational events, participating in cultural celebrations, developing awareness campaigns for human rights causes, supporting youth leaders, and engaging in robust advocacy with our local and nationally elected officials.
