Young people can sign up to join UNICEF Youth Voice, a network of young people who want to help to create a world fit for children. They’ll receive a bi-monthly newsletter, featuring all the latest opportunities for young people in the UK.
Youth Voice members are also invited to send in their own news about what they’re doing to change the world. So if your school has held an awareness day or fundraising event, you could encourage your pupils to get in touch. Click here.
