ActionAid's youth network has hundreds of members all over the world, including groups in universities and colleges all over the UK.

Together, we're fighting to end poverty.

About Activista

From protesting and collecting petitions, to training and fundraising for youth projects overseas – you name it, Activistas do it.

Activista groups decide how they want to take action, and we provide the materials and training they need to do it.

Join us and you’ll get training in skills for your CV like leadership, teamwork and media.

You’ll find out how charities work, meet loads of new people and, of course, help us make positive change for the world’s poorest people. 

Joining Activista

Groups are popping up all the time so check our Facebook page to see if your college or university already has one. 

You can also set up an Activista group. We’ll give you training and support, the chance to meet other Activistas worldwide and to volunteer at the festivals with us.
