Pros

Incredibly meaningful work, helping children in need across the globe. Exciting and a lot of room to contribute in a major way to important global initiatives.

Cons

Due to UNICEF being UN, funding is utilized for programs that support children and funds for overhead that would support staff are used very judiciously. To that end, you may find yourself doing the job of more than one person regularly for years.

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
