UNICEF 2021 Global Volunteer Internship with Generation Unlimited (GEN U)

Published: 24 Feb 2021 2,625 views

The purpose of the internship is to develop training materials and facilitate workshops around volunteer engagement for UNICEF while also supporting the team to build connections and coalitions with relevant organizations outside of UNICEF.

 UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, Commitment…

Millions of people all over the world support UNICEF and our cause. They raise money, they campaign and in some countries they volunteer to help children in myriad ways. There is an opportunity to build on this force for good and go to another level of engagement with a committed group of volunteer supporters. Our aim is to build a UNICEF membership cadre of millions who champion the change we need through their individual and collective commitment. A volunteer force would vastly extend UNICEF’s reach and help broaden and transform UNICEF itself.

Benefits of UNICEF Internship Programme

Volunteers may contribute their time and experience through:  

1. Service activities (from building a playground, helping with language learning, to participating in emergency response) in local communities and attending signature events;  
2. Organizing events and volunteer activities;  
3. Speaking about issues for children in their communities;  
4. Advocacy with governments and the private sector; and  
5. Fundraising to support children.

As volunteers periodically take action in support of children, and come to identify with UNICEF, they will not only contribute to their communities but also contribute energy and advice to UNICEF.
