The UNICEF High School Club program is a youth-led initiative that partners with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to educate, advocate, and fundraise on behalf of UNICEF's lifesaving work.
A growing movement rooted in a belief that students have a vital role to play in helping the world’s children survive, the program supports UNICEF’s child survival work in more than 150 countries, and helps educate communities throughout the United States, giving students an opportunity to engage members of their families and communities on global humanitarian issues.

Register a UNICEF High School Club
- Find at least four other like–minded students, ages 14–18, to be members of your club. There is no limit on the number of members though
- You also will need to elect leadership for your club—so start thinking about good candidates
- Get the word out with your friends about the club. Once you get official confirmation of your club's registration, then other members can register with your club by selecting "Register Members"
- Select an adult who can serve as an official advisor to your club. If your club will hold its meetings at your high school, make sure your advisor is a member of the school faculty
