The United Nations Children’s Fund Division of Communication is pleased to announce that as of today we are accepting applicationsfor our upcoming round of Voices of Youth Blogging Internships!

As you might know, Voices of Youth has already successfully engaged over 170 young people throughsix blogging internships in the past. This year, interns will focus on and write about topics connected to two of UNICEF’s Cause Framework campaigns – Children Uprooted and End Violence.

The blogging internships – available in English, Spanish and French – offer young people an extraordinary opportunity to improve their writing and research skills, enhance their understanding of global issues, and connect with young people worldwide.

 

Throughout the internship, participants will receive personalized feedback on their blog posts, attend a series of live interactive sessions with subject matter experts, take part in weekly lessons on blogging, get access to a network of international youth bloggers, and get an opportunity to have their pieces published on notable digital media platforms. Upon completion of the internship participants will receive a certificate – a valuable addition to their CVs as they prepare to enter college or the workplace for the first time.

 

The initiative is open to 14-25 year-olds from around the world who are looking to improve their writing skills and who are passionate about the rights of migrant and refugee children, and ending violence against children. Interns will be selected based on their applications, and to reflect a balance of countries/regions and gender. The internship is done by remote participation, which means that interns are not required to travel anywhere.
