关于机会

The UNICEF UNV Youth on the Move Programme 2026 is a global, paid United Nations Volunteer initiative designed to expand access to employment opportunities for refugee, asylum-seeking, internally displaced, and migrant youth. Hosted by UNICEF, the programme provides a structured pathway for young people to gain professional experience and contribute meaningfully to international development.

Overview of the Programme

The Youth on the Move Programme offers a 12-month paid UN Volunteer assignment within UNICEF country offices. It is specifically designed to address systemic barriers that prevent displaced and migrant youth from accessing internships and entry-level roles.

The UNICEF UNV Youth on the Move Programme builds on the success of the Youth on the Move Fellowship Pilot Programme—implemented by UNICEF in partnership with the Migration Youth and Children Platform. This pilot included 23 young people from refugee and displaced backgrounds to work with UNICEF between 2022 and 2024 (see the video). While the 2024–2025 edition engaged 13 UN Volunteers with UNICEF in Cambodia, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, Poland, Somalia, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, and Vietnam.

The 2026 edition coincides with the International Volunteer Year (IVY) 2026 and builds on the momentum of previous cohorts.

Key Benefits

Participants in the programme will receive:

Paid 12-month UN Volunteer placement
Professional experience within UNICEF country offices
Exposure to international development and humanitarian work
Opportunities to build networks within the UN system
Career development support and practical work experience

Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must meet the following requirements:

Aged 20–32 years
Refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, or migrants
Facing barriers to education-to-employment pathways due to displacement or migration
Based in the country of assignment
Legally eligible to work in the country of assignment

Additional considerations:

UNICEF promotes equity, non-discrimination, and inclusive recruitment
Female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply
Youth with disabilities are encouraged to apply

UNICEF is committed to equity, non-discrimination, and inclusive recruitment, particularly for youth on the move, including those with disabilities. Female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply to support gender parity and address the heightened vulnerabilities faced by women and girls in displaced communities (see link).

Programme Vision

The programme is grounded in the principle that talent is universal, but access to opportunity is not. It aims to address systemic exclusion faced by displaced youth by creating equitable access to employment pathways.

Core objectives include:

Breaking barriers to entry into international organizations
Promoting inclusion and representation within global institutions
Unlocking untapped potential among displaced and migrant youth
Supporting sustainable development through youth participation

The UNICEF UNV Youth on the Move Programme 2026 represents a significant opportunity for young people affected by displacement to gain paid, meaningful work experience within the United Nations system. It is both a career pathway and a strategic intervention aimed at advancing equity in global employment opportunities.
