About Us
TeachUNICEF is a portfolio of free global education resources. Resources cover grades PK-12, are interdisciplinary (social studies, science, math, English/language arts, foreign/world languages), and align with standards. The lesson plans, stories, and multimedia cover topics ranging from the Millennium Development Goals to Water and Sanitation.
Our mission is to support and create well-informed global citizens who understand interconnectedness, respect and value diversity, have the ability to challenge injustice and inequities and take action in personally meaningful ways. We hope that in providing engaging and academically rich materials that offer multiple voices, we can encourage the exploration of critical global issues while presenting opportunities to take action.
In October 2011, TeachUNICEF.org was selected by the International Academy of Visual Arts as a Silver W3 Award recipient.
What is UNICEF?
UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, was founded in 1946 to help children in postwar Europe, China, and the Middle East and is sustained completely by voluntary contributions. Now operating in over 150 countries, it has saved more young lives than any other humanitarian organization. To learn more, visit http://www.unicef.org/about/index.html.
What is the U.S. Fund for UNICEF?
The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF’s work through fundraising, advocacy, and education in the United States. Join us in putting an end to the unnecessary deaths of 22,000 children who die each day of preventable causes. Our mission is to reach a day when zero children die from preventable causes by doing whatever it takes for children to receive the basics for a healthy childhood.
