The Beyond NAFTA: 2000 North American Youth Conference was hosted by the Centre on North American Politics and Society of the Department of Political Science, Carleton University, and was made possible by support from the Government of Canada, Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, as well as the Government of Mexico, and from the Government of the United States.  The Conference also received assistance from the Office of the Dean, Faculty of Public Affairs and Management, Carleton University.

The Conference would have been impossible without the tireless effort and commitment of many people, notably Jimena Jimenez, Mike Bassett, Al Vachon, Laura Chrabalowsky, Eric Verreault, Kathleen Nadeau, Chuck Schouerwou, Alberto Fierro and Marguerite Dove.
