United Nations Association Midpeninsula Chapter is one of many chapters of the UNA-USA in the United States serving the local community of Palo Alto CA and beyond. We sponsor, organize and promote a number of programs and events at local institutions such as schools, universities and libraries The UNA Midpeninsula chapter is run by a group of volunteers through our office in Palo Alto which also houses a library of books, journals and articles on United Nations and an incredible collection of gifts from all over the world.
