Campus UNICEF is a student group at the University of Alberta that supports the work of UNICEF Canada. While we come from different backgrounds and academic focuses, we all share a common desire to help build a world which respects and protects the universal human rights of every child.

Our mission is to mobilize and empower individuals to invest in the positive transformation of every child’s future. During the school year, we plan and organize fundraisers and awareness campaigns to that are inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are set by the United Nations. Our events are wide-ranging and diverse; from bake sales and bottle drives, to fun-filled carnival days at local inner-city elementary schools.

About the UNICEF On Campus Initiative

“The UNICEF Campus Club is a body of post-secondary or high school students who are grounded in the belief that they can take simple effective steps to help address issues related to the plight of children both here in Canada and overseas. The Campus Clubs support UNICEF’s ability to provide programs and advocacy work for children all over the world by raising funds.

Post-secondary and high school students have the unique opportunity to engage a broad range of people and gain access to resources in order to increase public awareness about UNICEF through awareness-raising, advocacy and fundraising initiatives.

In working with UNICEF Canada, students will have an amazing opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children and youth all over the world. By becoming actively engaged with UNICEF Canada, students can change the world for future generations by working to ensure that the children of today grow up in a safe and healthy environment to become the leaders of tomorrow.”
