Why advocacy is important to UNICEF

advocacytraining.jpgIn celebration of National Volunteer Week we’re not only celebrating our volunteers, we are showing the power that their actions can have!

Last year, UNICEF supporters contacted their congressional representatives more than 10,000 times on issues important to UNICEF. That’s why this week we are launching UNICEF's Unite for Child Survival: Advocacy Week. We hope you'll join us throughout the week to learn more about UNICEF's advocacy activities and take action to voice your support.

You can join in on the activities any time throughout the week. On day one, which is today, we suggest you register as a volunteer (if you haven’t done so already) and take our online training module called Advocating for UNICEF.

Once you take the training, let us know what you think of it; post a comment here with your thoughts.
