UAE's Youth Pursue Minister Positions

Do you want to be a minister in the UAE? Almost 5,000 young people have tried to get a minister job for young people. Sheikh Mohammed, the leader of Dubai, asked them to join. In 2016, the UAE made news for having the youngest minister ever. Shamma Al Mazroui became the Minister of Youth Affairs at just 22 years old.

The UAE wants young people to help run the country. They have a plan that looks at five big changes young people go through from age 15 to 35. The changes are studying, working, living healthy and safe, starting a family, and being a citizen.

The government also wants young people on their teams. They have youth councils where young people can talk to leaders and share their thoughts on the country's rules. What other ways can we help young people in our country? Tell us in the comments.
