UNICEF at North Springs

 

 

 

 

UNICEF is a great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children around the world. Through service projects, fundraisers, and activities, we will reach out to change the lives of such children. Our club at North Springs focuses on three components: education, advocacy, and fundraising! Be prepared to have experiences that you have never experienced before! UNICEF is an opportunity to get involved in service and worldwide awareness. You will not only be able to make a difference but also gain life skills. It's time to give back to the community!

What is UNICEF?

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works in more than 190 countries and territories to save and improve children’s lives, providing health care and immunizations, clean water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief, and more. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF’s work through fundraising, advocacy and education in the United States. Together, we are working toward the day when ZERO children die from preventable causes and every child has a safe and healthy childhood.

What can I expect to see?

·         Interactive meetings involving discussions

·         Fun events and field trips

·         Great experiences serving in the community

·         Feel good about yourself :)
