Exploring Jobs for Teens with UNICEF

I've heard about volunteering and job opportunities with UNICEF for high school students. Does anyone know what kinds of roles are available and how I might get involved? Any tips on applying would be awesome!

UNICEF offers a variety of opportunities for high school students to get involved. While they generally don't offer salaried jobs for high school students, they have considerable volunteering and advocacy opportunities that might suit your interests.

One such option is UNICEF Clubs, which are student-led clubs at schools across the country that partner with UNICEF USA to advocate for children's rights, educate others, and fundraise for UNICEF's initiatives. Starting a club or joining an existing one at your school is a great way to engage with UNICEF's mission.

Besides creating a UNICEF Club at your school, high school students can also serve as UNICEF High School Club Leaders. In this role, you would help manage the club's events and projects and act as a liaison between the club members and UNICEF USA.

Lastly, there are opportunities to volunteer at UNICEF events or through other initiatives. These opportunities vary based on your geographic location and the available events.

When it comes to applying, UNICEF usually requires interested individuals to fill out a form expressing their interest in the role. If you're looking to start a UNICEF Club at your school, you'll have to follow the guidelines provided on their website, which include putting together a team of interested students and finding a faculty advisor.

Remember that working with a well-known organization like UNICEF displays a strong commitment to community service and global issues, traits valued by many colleges. However, it's also key to remember to engage in these kinds of activities because you're truly passionate about the cause rather than just for the sake of an application. Good luck!
