About the ONE Campus Challenge
Every year,
ONE hosts the ONE Campus Challenge (OCC): a friendly competition to determine which university's student body has the most effective global poverty-fighting campaign.
College students work together -- with others on their campus and across the country -- to learn about global poverty and preventable disease, and to achieve change on behalf of the world's poorest people through advocacy, action and awareness-raising.
During the school year, students earn points and recognition for their schools by participating in different actions and monthly challenges, including advocating for important legislation, educating people on campus about challenges to international development, and raising the visibility of ONE and the issues we champion. The schools accumulating the most points in monthly challenges and throughout the season are eligible for exciting prizes and national recognition for their efforts in the fight against global poverty.
