About Us

TeachUNICEF is a portfolio of UNICEF-focused resources designed and collected by the U.S. Fund for UNICEF’s Education Department for educators, afterschool instructors, and parents. TeachUNICEF resources cover grades PK-12, are interdisciplinary, and align with national standards. The units, lesson plans, stories, and multimedia cover topics ranging from the Millennium Development Goals to water and sanitation. All TeachUNICEF resources can be downloaded for free.

Our mission is to provide engaging and academically rich materials that provide multiple voices, encourage the exploration of critical global issues that impact children worldwide, and offer interested youth an opportunity to take action by utilizing service tips and participating in U.S. Fund for UNICEF sponsored activities. We hope that these resources will help in creating well-informed global citizens.

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 24,000 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.
