UNICEF works with volunteers primarily through the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme, which recruits candidates for specific assignments supporting United Nations agencies. Roles may involve public health, education, communication, data analysis, programme management or other specialised activities.
Check the official UNICEF volunteering page and UNV assignments with UNICEF. Some UNICEF National Committees also offer local volunteering, including awareness campaigns and fundraising activities.
Assignments have different eligibility conditions. Some require professional qualifications, relevant experience, language skills or residence in the country concerned. Allowances and other benefits depend on the particular programme and role.
