1 Student at a Time (1ST) is a student-led organization whose mission is to support college students, particularly those in greatest need. 1ST was founded in May 2020 by a group of students and faculty at UCLA to address humanitarian crises amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically focusing on housing, health, higher education, and food security.
1ST is initiating a student-led mutual aid fund as a communal financial resource for UCLA students experiencing hardships due to COVID-19. The funds will be raised through a grassroots campaign by classmates, alumni, faculty, and other members of our community. We are a resource for covering expenses that cannot be met by other sources provided by UCLA. For information regarding our fundraising and redistribution process, please refer to this document.
