UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund is a program which defends the rights of children across the nation. UNICEF works hard to preserve the right to education for many children while also providing clean water, sanitation, and nutrition. This week I attended the UNICEF @ Baruch to learn more about this movement.Through the meeting I learned how Baruch College gives back to the community. Out of all the events, the Halloween Bash stood out to me where as college students, we can raise money for children. Not only the club members can raise money but the whole college can. More events such as the Snowflake Ball, International Food Fair, and Not Alternative Facts is the perfect way to raise awareness and implement change for the betterment of all children. The main goal is to help all children to realize that they can reach their full potential.

Upon entering the club room I already knew I wanted to be a permanent member of UNICEF. The board members were extremely nice and outgoing. They answered all the questions I had without me even asking. The free pizza and soda was just the cherry on top of the cake. UNICEF is a great way to get involved in the college social scene because in order to become a member you have to fulfill a number of requirements. The requirements are attend a co-sponsorship event, attend a social event, attend a GIM (general interest meeting),  bring a friend to any UNICEF event, attend a tabling event, and attend an info session. To become a member of the UNICEF @ Baruch family you have to meet all these requirements with a signature of a board member as proof. If you are unsure if you want to join UNICEF check out unicef.org or join the UNICEF @ Baruch facebook page to learn more. The next general interest meeting is on September 19th during club hours. I hope to see all of you there!
