Global Citizenship Fellowship – End Trafficking Fellow
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) works in 190 countries and territories to put children first. UNICEF has helped save more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization, by 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 no children die from preventable causes and every child has a safe and healthy childhood. For more information, visit www.unicefusa.org.
Global Citizenship Fellowship: Global Citizenship Fellows work in twelve regions across the U.S. The Fellowship is a highly-selective, full-time, two-year 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 interconnectedness, respects and values diversity, has the ability to challenge injustice and inequalities, and takes action in a way that is personally meaningful.
End Trafficking Fellow: The End Trafficking Fellow will support the core functions and goals of the End Trafficking project. End Trafficking is the U.S. Fund for UNICEF’s initiative to raise awareness about child trafficking and mobilize communities to take meaningful action to protect children in the United States and around the world. In partnership with concerned individuals and groups, the End Trafficking project aims to bring us all closer to a day when there are no exploited children.
The End Trafficking Fellow will provide day-to-day support of the project, and other duties to foster education and advocacy around the issue of child trafficking. They will help create new resources, implement trainings, support monitoring and evaluation of the project, and support other Global Citizenship Fellows in their outreach efforts.
The End Trafficking Fellow reports to the End Trafficking Manager in the Program Division. This fellowship position is based in New York City.
