This is another great opportunity to show what you know about the focus areas of UNICEF's programs. There are nine major focus areas listed on their website: child protection and inclusion, child survival, education, social policy, emergencies, gender, and innovation for children, supply and logistics, and research, evidence, and analysis. Pick one or two of these areas and elaborate on the reasons you feel connected to them professionally and personally.

"As an International Relations and Public Administration double-major, I was extremely excited to read about UNICEF's work with social policy. My senior thesis focused on working with the local government in a small Turkish town to develop a plan to gradually expand its capacity to fully fund its pre-k and elementary schools. I understand this position deals directly with the Child-Friendly Cities Initiative, and I would be thrilled to contribute my knowledge and experience in local governance to advance this project."

"As Project Manager for a home rebuilding and community development nonprofit in New Orleans, I have significant experience administering disaster aid in the immediate and long-term aftermath of a natural disaster. Since Hurricane Katrina devastated our city in 2005, I have rebuilt hundreds of homes, working closely with the families to ensure their voices were not only heard but listened to. When the federal government stopped providing aid, I began raising funds to continue this work and eventually joined efforts with a nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding the community. I have the passion and the skills, and I would embrace the chance to bring these to an organization that relieves children in times of humanitarian emergencies and disasters."
