UNICEF at Penn is a student-led organization dedicated to advancing the rights and well-being of children, in Philadelphia and around the world. Guided by UNICEF's mandate from the United Nations General Assembly, we work to ensure every child has access to health, protection, education, and opportunity.
We pursue this mission through four pillars. We fundraise to support UNICEF's global programs and to sustain the campus programming, partnerships, and operations that make our work possible. We advocate for children's issues at the local, state, national, and international levels. We serve and build community, partnering with organizations across Penn and Philadelphia and developing our members as informed, capable leaders. We educate our peers on the challenges shaping children's lives, including public health, humanitarian crisis, displacement, inequality, and exploitation.
Together these pillars build lasting capacity within our chapter, on our campus, and in the communities we serve.
