[Bachelor and Master Student] Global Volunteer Internship with Generation Unlimited (GEN U), USA (Paid)

Date - 




UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

Volunteering enables young people to envision and reclaim their place in society. There's a multiplying force of volunteerism: as young volunteers build self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence, they enact change in their communities and impart skills to others while acquiring skills themselves. Learning by doing, volunteers become proficient in communication, problem-solving, organizing, and planning and benefit from a stronger start to their employment journeys. By mobilising young people to volunteer, we expand our reach, access, and trust with communities, strengthen our ability to deliver on programme and advocacy goals, and provide young people with empowering and upskilling experiences— moving closer to a world in which young people are changemakers shaping more just and equitable outcomes

Volunteers may contribute their time and experience through:
  • Service activities (from building a playground, helping with language learning, to participating in emergency response) in local communities and attending signature events;
  • Organizing events and volunteer activities;
  • Speaking about issues for children in their communities;
  • Advocacy with governments and the private sector; and
  • Fundraising to support children. 


As volunteers periodically take action in support of children, and come to identify with UNICEF, they will not only contribute to their communities but also contribute energy and advice to UNICEF.

The purpose of the internship is to develop training materials and facilitate workshops around volunteer engagement for UNICEF while also supporting the team to build connections and coalitions with relevant organizations outside of UNICEF.   

Salary/Payment:
UNICEF will provide a small monthly stipend during the duration of this Internship. There is no expectancy of employment at the end of the internship.

Living and Working Conditions:
The internship is on part time basis (30 Hours per week). In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the GenU office will be working remotely for at least some of this period and we will consider applicants who can only work remotely, keeping NY (EST) work hours.

Visa Information:
In the event that the fellow is expected to report to NYHQ, United States, they will be responsible for obtaining their G-4 visa before traveling to United States. They will not be permitted to enter the United States without a valid G-4 visa. UNICEF will only issue guidance and a letter stating acceptance of an individual as an intern/fellow and the conditions governing the Internship/Fellowship.

Insurance:
UNICEF will not be responsible for costs arising from accidents and/or illness incurred during the volunteer’s service. Therefore, the selected candidate must provide proof of enrollment in a health/accident plan prior to starting his/her work.
