U.S. Fund for UNICEF Program and Community Engagement Division in the
following locations: Atlanta,
Boston, Chicago, Dallas /North Texas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville,
New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. The Fellowship is a highly-selective, full-time, 13-month
program that prepares diverse, committed and globally-minded individuals for
effective leadership in public service. By helping to establish
UNICEF’s domestic imprint, the Fellows exemplify the concept of the “global
citizen” as someone who understands global interconnection, respects and
values diversity, has the ability to challenge injustice and inequalities,
and takes action in a way that is personally meaningful. Fellows aim to
inspire their communities to take action for the world’s children by engaging
local groups and cultivating awareness.
The Fellow’s primary function will be to
support the core functions and goals of USF departments: Education & Youth
Engagement, Community Mobilization, Civil Society Partnerships and the Office

implementation for our domestic initiatives: Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, Kid
Power, TeachUNICEF, UNICEF High School clubs, UNICEF Campus Initiative,
UNICEF Tap Project, the End Trafficking campaign, UNICEF’s Next Generation,
advocacy initiatives, and other community mobilization activities.
Fellows will work closely with regional
staff, but will report to the Global Citizenship Program Team in New York or
Chicago.
