The UNICEF chapter at Clear Brook High School in Houston, Texas started 5 years ago and has dramatically increased in size every year. Although this year poses many challenges, we firmly believe that our club, in partnership with Clear Brook High School's National Honor Society, can continue to make an impact by fundraising, advocating and spreading awareness in our community.
Created by the UNICEF club at Mayo High School in Rochester, MN, Project Read Aloud is an opportunity for high school students to give back to their community by sending videos of themselves reading children’s books to CCISD elementary schools in the Houston area. This activity is entirely virtual, making it safe and accessible for anyone to participate!
