Leadership and involvement opportunities for globally-minded students

Get involved with the ONE Campaign at UMD! ONE is a non-partisan, grassroots campaign and advocacy organization with over 3 million members across the globe working to eradicate extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa. With ONE, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the issue of extreme poverty, the progress being made with cost-effective, people powered development programs, the unique role of college students in political advocacy, and participate in ONE’s Campus program and internship opportunities.

ONE Campus
The ONE Campus program gives students the unique opportunity to develop the expertise and leadership skills necessary to become savvy, influential advocates. Students will educate their campus, execute creative campaigns, and advocate locally and nationally on development issues.  The ONE Campus chapters also have the opportunity to participate in the ONE Campus Challenge (OCC), our annual intercollegiate competition designed to mobilize students in the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease. Students have a valuable voice in the international development debate; the ONE Campus program provides them with a platform to use it and the opportunity earn internship credit with ONE for their work.

ONE Campus Leader Internship

The ONE Campus Leader Internship program gives student leaders and advocates the opportunity to dive deeper into advocacy, leadership, and international development while spreading the word about extreme poverty and earning credit, right from their campus. ONE Campus interns will serve as the leader of their school’s ONE chapter, and also complete the internship curriculum that provides a substantive, policy driven background and mentorship for their campus advocacy and organizing. The Spring 2013 Curriculum is available here.
