Our Organization

UNICEF works to reach the most disadvantaged children and adolescents – and to protect the rights of every child, everywhere. Across more than 190 countries and territories, we do whatever it takes to help children survive, thrive and fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.

UNICEF Kid Power®, a program of UNICEF USA, is an interactive video platform continuing to grow its U.S. reach by empowering students to unlock impact for children in need globally and locally. When students participate in the program, they also unlock powerful health and educational outcomes for themselves. UNICEF Kid Power combines philanthropy and fun with a focus on social-emotional learning (SEL) and mental health, child rights, and equity and access for all students.

Our Reach & Recognition

Embraced by educators, UNICEF Kid Power is a rapidly growing, tech-enabled education program that engages kids and schools nationwide to make global and local impact.
