Now, as a parent, you may want to recreate the same memories for your own children—but did you know that you can turn Halloween into a learning experience for your kids as well? 

By Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF, kids learn the importance of helping others in need. Explore the Trick-or-Treat section of this site and visit our Download Center for resources to support kids' efforts and show them they can make a difference through this beloved Halloween campaign. Additional resources especially for parents are available for download below.

The Tap Project is another way for kids to get involved, by learning about the global water crisis and how they can help.

Be sure to sign-up for Youth Action eNews—you'll get timely information about Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, the Tap Project and other opportunities for kids to be involved with UNICEF.
