UNICEF Australia at times offers volunteer opportunities where you can both make a difference with the skills and experience you bring or learn new skills through valuable experience.
Please keep an eye on the Job Opportunities section, for volunteer opportunities when they arise. Alternatively, you can also submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to volunteer with us telling us a little about yourself. To learn more about our Volunteer Opportunities and submitting an EOI, please read on.
UNICEF is the world’s largest children’s charity working to protect vulnerable children, globally and here in Australia. Run entirely on voluntary donations, we work to improve the lives of every vulnerable child, no matter who they are or where they live. Every day our teams are on the ground in 190 countries working with local partners to deliver lifesaving help and create lasting change. From vaccinating children in war zones to providing early childhood education access in Indigenous communities, donations help us to protect every child, no matter what.
