Become a UK Student Leader
Do you want to help lead our grassroots campaigning? Are you a UK university student?
We’re looking for 50 Student Leaders to organise local campaign groups and build our movement. We are looking for highly enthusiastic students from a range of universities with a strong commitment to fighting against extreme poverty and a passion for ONE.
Simply sign up to ONE Students today and complete the Student Leader Form We have extended the deadline until 11am Wednesday 6th June.
Our student activists use their energy and creativity to run inspiring campaigns at university to influence the decisions that affect the world’s poorest people
As a ONE Student Leader you will help show strength in numbers by promoting online actions. You will get your voice heard with letters and meetings with MPs. And you will raise awareness by holding events on campus and creating a buzz through social media.
You’ll work together in small groups at your university and build support among other students. We’ll assist you with support and guidance from experienced ONE staff, special access to ONE materials and merchandise and unique opportunities to be part of important campaign events (such as handing in a petition to the Prime Minister in Number 10!).
If you are selected as a Student Leader you will be invited to our Student Activist Weekend on Saturday 16th - Monday 18th June, where you will:
- learn about ONE’s big campaign plans, including on hunger & agriculture, HIV/AIDS and transparency in the oil industry
- gain the skills you need to make these campaigns a success
- plan your own campaign activities with ONE staff and other students
- start organising your local campaign group
- meet other students passionate about ending poverty!
All UK university students are invited to join ONE Students today!

Hi,
I’m a student in Further Education in the UK. I’ve got a record of fundraising and promoting the rights of those whose voices can’t be heard. I’d love to help lead a grassroots campaign to end poverty, make the oil industry accountable and work on agriculture in the Third World. In fact, I and many like me would be fantastic for this.
Unfortunately we can’t because according to you we’re not real students. Sorry.
Love,
One of the 4 million students in England alone that you’ve alienated by only making this open to university students.
