Tap into collective power.Join a national network of student activists—and get big things done together.“I always had it in my mind that getting together a group of people with a common goal was difficult, because people just may not care as much. But after working with Save the Children, I realized just how much so many people care about so many different things so passionately, and it is truly amazing. I am very grateful to be able to work alongside this organization and be constantly inspired by the amazing people in it!”Arietta Xylas
