About
What is UNICEF?
UNICEF was founded in 1946 to help children in countries devastated by World War II. Now operating in more than 190 countries and territories, it has helped save more young lives than any other humanitarian organization. Its world-changing work is sustained completely by voluntary contributions.
What we do?
Our club is a student-led group that partners with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to educate, advocate and fundraise on behalf of children and in support of UNICEF’s lifesaving work. The club is supported by U.S. Fund for UNICEF staff and by a student-led National Council.
Our events fall into four categories:
Education: we hold fun activities and meetings to educate students on international crises and deliver a message
Advocacy: Two types of advocacy are essential to UNICEF’s work: educational and political. Educational advocacy includes activities that raise awareness about child survival issues through channels like social media; that’s what our clubs do! Political advocacy involves communicating with public officials or the general public to influence legislation and public policy
Fundraising: We also hold fundraising events supporting UNICEF's work worldwide
