UNITE for Children

UNITE for Children, UNICEF USA’s new podcast, is a celebration of Americans who are committed to making the world a better place for kids. Our supporters — some of whom received support from UNICEF themselves at an early age — constantly find exciting, innovative ways to fundraise and advocate, and we aim to highlight this vibrant community with each episode.
