A community of like-minded philanthropists, advocates, and leaders who leverage their collective potential to drive innovative projects, accelerate fundraising opportunities and advocate for children’s rights.

Become a NextGen ChangemakerWhat do NextGen Changemakers do?
Advocate
Discuss the biggest challenges facing children today and learn how UNICEF, with local grassroots partners, works with the community through its programs. We partner with NextGen members and our supporters to raise awareness of children’s rights.
Connect
We’re a targeted community who engage with a diverse network and serve as a bridge between companies, start-ups, non-profits and philanthropists. Together, we amplify children’s voices and use our collective potential to advocate for every child.
Fundraise
We set ourselves an annual goal to fund projects that we believe will have the greatest impact based on data and feedback from local communities. For this purpose, we encourage our networks to donate in order to generate the greatest possible impact.
Amplify
We support the work of UNICEF and raise awareness of children's rights. We believe our impact can go beyond financial support – from advocating for the protection of children’s rights through our platforms to inspiring others to take action.
Provide Expertise
We deepen our knowledge of global challenges and UNICEF’s work as the world’s leading children’s charity. With our expansive range of skills and ideas, we drive innovative projects and new approaches.
