What Is UNICEF Clubs?
UNICEF Clubs are UNICEF USA's current youth-led U.S. grassroots network for high-school and college students. Local clubs educate their communities about child rights, advocate on UNICEF-supported issues, build community, and fundraise for children. The club model is broader than a one-time individual application: students organize locally through the academic year while UNICEF USA supplies guides, campaign resources, online fundraising tools, regional support, and a national network.
Registration for 2026–27 is open. Every new and returning club must register annually. A registration requires four club leaders, one advisor, school or organization details, and the portal questionnaire. The advisor must be a responsible adult age 25 or older and not UNICEF staff. Approved registrants should receive an email within 7–10 business days. Active clubs must submit membership information and funds, complete an end-of-year survey, follow safeguarding and impartiality policies, and run five events spanning community building, fundraising, advocacy, and speaking out. UNICEF USA does not publish a registration fee or a complete budget for club events.
