We’re celebrating National Volunteer Week this week and thanking our volunteers for helping to save the world’s most vulnerable children. Your commitment helps UNICEF continue its important work.
We’re recognizing 15 outstanding and inspirational individuals and groups who have dedicated themselves to UNICEF’s work by honoring them with the President’s Volunteer Service Award. We have also posted new volunteer resources and tools in the Online Volunteer Center including a self-guided training, updated toolkits, and more.
If you are a registered volunteer, we encourage you to review the resources and give us your feedback. Thank you for making UNICEF and the world’s children a priority in your life and your community.
And if you haven’t registered as a volunteer yet, we hope you'll take a few minutes to register today.
Working together through UNICEF we have saved the lives of more children than any other humanitarian organization in the world. Whether we’re at the scene of a humanitarian disaster or on the ground fighting disease in a developing country, UNICEF is protecting children’s rights, helping meet their basic needs and expanding their opportunities to reach their full potential. In addition to UNICEF staff providing lifesaving programs to those who need it most or raising funds, you -- our vast network of volunteers and supporters -- are working together to increase awareness of global issues of child survival and to raise funds for UNICEF. So to truly describe all of UNICEF, we must acknowledge the work of our volunteers who support UNICEF right here at home.
Please post a comment here to share your ideas with us about how volunteerism is an important part of UNICEF’s mission to save children’s lives.
