UNICEF South Africa Volunteer Club at the University of Johannesburg, empowering youth to drive social change.

The UNICEF South Africa Volunteer Programme is a youth-driven initiative empowering students at the University of Johannesburg to champion children’s rights and drive social change. Rooted in civic responsibility and campus culture, this grassroots movement engages young people in education, ending violence against children, climate action, and healthy lifestyles. Volunteers participate in advocacy, awareness campaigns, community engagement, and fundraising to create lasting impact. Through initiatives like nutrition education, environmental sustainability, mental health workshops, and gender-based violence prevention, members develop leadership skills while contributing to global goals. The programme offers networking opportunities with like-minded peers and global leaders, aligning efforts with UNICEF’s mission to protect every child’s rights. Whether through hands-on projects or advocacy, students become changemakers, leaving a positive mark on their communities and beyond.
