Aegis Students is the youth arm of the Aegis Trust, committed to campaigning, educating and fundraising to end genocide. Over the past few years, a signficant focus of Aegis Students’ activities in the UK has been its Youth Leader Project, consisting of two training programmes designed to inspire leadership and responsibility among young people at universities. So far hundreds of students have taken part, drawn from over twenty universities the length and breadth of the country. You can find out more about these programmes below.

“Seeing how much of a difference young people can make made me realise how important it is.”
