Kyle King first began volunteering for UNICEF through his high school club in South Florida in 9th grade. Throughout high school, Kyle became more and more active in his club, eventually serving on the National Youth Council in his senior year! Now a junior at Yale University, Kyle’s passion for mental health advocacy has led him back to UNICEF as a returning council member for the 2022-2023 school year! Kyle is currently pursuing a degree in neuroscience and hopes to attend medical school after college. Although Kyle wants to be a neurosurgeon, he hopes to return to the UN after practicing medicine. Outside of UNICEF, Kyle is a National Advocate for the International OCD Foundation and works as a post-grad associate at the Yale OCD Research Clinic. Of all the amazing work UNICEF does, Kyle is most passionate about supporting the mental health of youth everywhere!
