Every year, ONE flies the leaders of the top 100 Campus Challenge schools to an elite 3-day conference in Washington, DC. There, students will hear from top members of the global poverty movement, meet ONE staff, and of course, get to network with 99 of the nation's most motivated student advocates for ONE.
This year's Power 100 Summit begins with a meet-and-greet at the Washington Plaza Hotel on Friday, February 6th, features inspiring speakers, intense advocacy training, panel discussions and networking at George Washington University over the weekend, and culminates in a day on Capitol Hill for Congressional office visits on Monday, February 9th.
