We Won't Stop Fighting for the Next Generation
NextGen is a global community that combines innovative philanthropy, creative spirit, and collective action to create transformational change for children today and for generations to come. We are not just envisioning a better world for children — we are actively co-creating it.
Our Mission
NextGen’s mission is to engage and inspire the next generation of leaders in support of UNICEF's global work — leveraging our potential for catalytic impact as philanthropists, activists, and advocates for every child.
Join UNICEF NextGen and Make an Impact
NextGen members drive UNICEF’s mission forward by leveraging their polycapital—time, talent, treasure, and ties—to co-develop innovative solutions for the world’s most pressing challenges.
Become a NextGen member by making a monthly pledge and joining a dynamic network of changemakers. As a member, you’ll connect with like-minded peers, gain access to exclusive virtual opportunities to deepen your understanding of UNICEF’s work, and take action through advocacy, amplification, and community-building efforts.
Looking to take on a leadership role and maximize your impact? Inquire about the NextGen Collective. Collective members increase their giving, mobilize their networks, advocate for policy change, and amplify UNICEF’s mission. With the support of UNICEF USA’s NextGen team, Collective members shape their own impact journey, using their strengths to drive meaningful change.
Whether you start with a monthly pledge or step into a leadership role with the NextGen Collective, your commitment helps build a better future for children everywhere.

UNICEF NextGen Founders' Circle
In 2009, a group of 30 committed leaders came together to form UNICEF Next Generation. Since the original National NextGen Board was formed, new founders have helped us grow and launch additional boards in Atlanta, the Bay Area, Chicago and Los Angeles with plans to expand into more regional markets in the coming years. We thank all of our founders who established this powerful community, now guided by five distinct boards, across the USA and expanding NextGen across the globe! Your legacy will be felt for years to come.
