UNICEF Research And Analytics Internship (Sports) In USA (Full time/Remote – 6 to 8 weeks) Apply Online
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
UNICEF’s work in sports is rooted in our mission to ensure every child’s right to play in a safe environment, as outlined in Article 31 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Regular physical activity benefits physical, social, and mental health, and helps prevent many non-communicable diseases.
Access to sports is often limited by socioeconomic factors, gender, education, and ability. UNICEF views sports to improve physical and mental health, build confidence, and foster independence. We are committed to increase participation, enhance well-being, and promote social inclusion for vulnerable groups.
