UNICEF works in some of the world’s most challenging environments to reach children who need support the most. Across 190 countries and territories, the organization strives every day to protect children’s rights, save lives, and help young people achieve their full potential. No matter the circumstances, UNICEF remains committed to one goal: for every child, education.

In line with this mission, Education Cannot Wait (ECW)—the first global fund dedicated exclusively to education in emergencies—is offering remote, full-time internships for 2026. Hosted by UNICEF, ECW supports children and youth aged 3–18 affected by conflict, disasters, and protracted crises, ensuring learning continues even in the most difficult situations.
