Get ready, get set... advocate!

Next week we will be asking all our registered U.S. Fund for UNICEF volunteers to participate in UNICEF's "Unite for Child Survival: Advocacy Week." For five days, registered volunteers can learn and take action.

Legislative advocacy is a great way to support UNICEF; it only takes a few minutes to learn about the issues, click your mouse to send letters to your representatives and continue to raise awareness about issues that impact children.

Whether you are a registered volunteer or not, you can always advocate for UNICEF by visiting our advocacy center. But as a registered volunteer, you will gain access to online training modules, discussion questions and other resources that will allow you to promote UNICEF's work to your friends and family. You can also see all the other volunteer activities that we offer and choose from a menu of opportunities. You can do as many or as few as you like. Sign up here.

We hope to generate many letters to Congress next week, but we're also hoping that our volunteers will give us feedback on the resources and the week's worth of activities. We want to hear from you!
