STUDENTS: MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND CONTRIBUTE

We have an English speaking student network, with a National Student Board and a lot of student teams. Because we believe that students can best reach young people and offer them inspiring activities. Become a (flexible) student volunteer and join us!

We are 18 student teams, all based in different cities throughout the Netherlands, that contribute each year to the selected UNICEF cause. We raise awareness as well as funds through different types of events and initiatives, such as pub-quizzes, open discussions/debates with experts, symposiums, challenges, clothing sales, baking sales, etc.

We also collaborate with each other on larger-scale events, in order to bring more human power, ideas, perspectives, and dynamic. This way, the student network represents the idea of collective effort in a creative and innovative form to help the children in need. We do so with passion and conscience in order to obtain the desired outcomes.

Special project for fundraising

Every year, the student network chooses a UNICEF-project for fundraising. Currently students of the Dutch student network contribute to the project: Climate Smart Villages in Madagascar. An investment in resilient, sustainable villages and a green, opportunity-rich future for children.

What we aim for

We aim to create awareness and raise donations. We hope to see each team organise at least two activities per year. This way new attention is drawn to UNICEF, its projects and its goals. Do you and your team want to organise more activities? Please do so! Feel free to get creative and think of new ways to raise donations. Examples could be a pubquiz, a lecture, communal performances by bands, or a UNICEF run.

What we offer

A nationwide network of students that offers support, inspiration and possibilities for collaboration. We meet multiple times throughout the academic year during the Kick-off, Student Unite Day, LSO’s (learning & developing workshops) and Student Team Of The Year. These events are organised by the National Student Board, they are a selected group of students that focus on supporting and guiding the entire student volunteer network.

Let's get to work!
