Henry Maidoh is a youth leader and United Nations advocate with a strong academic and practical foundation in human rights, global governance, and development. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Honors Political Science with a major in International Development Studies at McGill University, on exchange to Sciences Po, where his studies focus on international law, conflict resolution and peacebuilding, and multilateral trade policy.

Henry has gained hands-on experience in policy research and advocacy through his internship with the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) in Accra, Ghana, where he contributed to governance and social accountability research, supported high-level ECOWAS policy dialogues, and authored comparative analyses on regional integration in the Sahel.

Beyond academia and professional experience, Henry is deeply engaged in youth leadership and multilateral advocacy. He served as Public Relations Coordinator and Head Delegate for the McGill Youth Advisory Delegation, representing youth voices at the United Nations. In these roles, he has advocated directly at the United Nations Economic and Social Council on issues including refugee inclusion, misinformation, and global cooperation.

Recently, Henry has built a 20,000-follower-strong personal brand that demystifies multilateral institutions, provides transparent mentorship, and chronicles his own personal career journey. The objective is to empower underrepresented youth worldwide to find their power in advocacy, navigate university and internships, and build careers that leave the world better than they found it.
