5. How do I become a volunteer for UNICEF?

If you have an undergraduate degree, several years of work experience and are interested in long-term volunteer opportunities in developing countries, you may be eligible for entry into the United Nations Volunteer (UNV) programme. This is a United Nations common programme, which recruits volunteers for assignments throughout the United Nations system, including UNICEF. Application procedures and information are available at the UNV Web site.

UNICEF does not recruit volunteers directly. Volunteer opportunities are offered through UNICEF National Committees in industrialized countries. They can provide information on volunteer activities for their respective citizens.

If you are a national of an industrialized country, you may contact the UNICEF National Committee in your home country for further information.

UNICEF does not provide scholarships, fellowships or grants.

6. What type of activities does UNICEF fund?
