As a Youth Advisor to the Board of Trustees you will have a say in how UNICEF UK operates.
Are you interested in helping us work towards a better world for children?

Then join us!


At UNICEF UK your opinion counts. That's why we are currently looking for a young person to  advise our board on behalf of young people.

As a Youth Advisor to the Board of Trustees you have the special opportunity to take part in important board meetings four times a year and contribute to key discussions about UNICEF UK's work.

The Youth Advisors are important because they represent the interests of young people to the board on decisions which affect the way UNICEF UK works. Their input helps us to make sure that young people are our priority in everything that we do.

What you need to do

If you are interested in the work UNICEF UK does and want to make a worthwhile contribution to our work as a Youth Advisor, then we’d love to hear from you.

To apply please contact Wendy Brion at wendyb@unicef.org.uk, who will send you an application form and more information about the job. The deadline for applying is 12pm on Friday 7 October - so make sure you contact Wendy long enough before the deadline to give you time to do the application.

Applications are open to anyone who is currently aged between 16 and 24 and who is interested in, or involved with, UNICEF UK's work with young people.
