Are you addressing climate change both locally and globally? UNICEF would love to speak with you if you are between the ages of 15 and 25 and aspire to play a significant part in determining not just your own future but also the future of a world experiencing its worst crises.
In order to build and develop the potential of young climate leaders, UNICEF is looking for committed young leaders to join the core team of our six-month-long, intense program called Leading Minds Fellows on Climate.
You have the opportunity to direct the agenda of UNICEF’s Leading Minds conference in 2024, which is centered on climate breakthroughs, with this part-time paid fellowship.
Young people co-created and co-led Leading Minds, a flagship platform for global thought leadership and conference series with an eye toward the future. It seeks to bring together forward-thinking leaders and thinkers, as well as advocates from the future generation, to address pressing issues that have the potential to drastically impact children and youth and to establish a platform for the fusion of power and knowledge. Here’s where changemakers emerge from thought leaders.
