EOI for Young Ambassador UNICEF Australia

UNICEF Australia is accepting Expressions of Interest (EOI) for its July 2026 – December 2027 Young Ambassador program. The program empowers young leaders to be spokespeople for children's rights and youth issues with key decision makers, media, and at events. Young Ambassadors receive extensive training in leadership, advocacy, media, and communications. The role is remote and requires a time commitment of 8–10 hours per month, with potential for increased involvement during campaign periods. Successful applicants must be available to attend an in person Induction Week with UNICEF in Sydney in July 2026. Only contact details are required for the EOI; do not attach a resume or cover letter at this stage.
