UNICEF has launched the Youth Advocates programme, a new initiative to recruit talent in partnership with United Nations Volunteers (UNV). The aim is to empower young people, including youth with disabilities, to become agents of change and champion children’s rights.
UNICEF has launched the Youth Advocates programme
After the success of the first initiative in 2018 – 2019, which mobilized 42 Youth Advocates (18-24 years old) in 27 countries, UNICEF, in partnership with UNV, is now looking for the second cohort. UNICEF is searching for 20 young, passionate, and skilled advocates to join them and become agents of change advocating for the protection of children’s rights.
The Youth Advocates Programme offers young people the chance to gain one-year professional experience through a National UN Volunteer (UNV) assignment with UNICEF, while also imparting their valuable insights into the organization’s work for children and young people.
The recruited Youth Advocates will have access to learning and professional development opportunities, including a suite of online learning programmes.
