Welcome • The ONE Liberia Student League (OLSL) is an initiative coordinated by Liberian students. • Our mission is to build a united Liberia by empowering and engaging Liberians through a process of collective action and interaction. • Our vision is to foster a culture in which all Liberians truly share in nationalistic principles and values.
Welcome • This initiative comes as a result of urgent needs arising in Liberian society due to the past fifteen years of civil unrest. • We will campaign against the use of class, tribalism, politics, or any other tool that may be used to divide our people.
Welcome • As students from a wide range of backgrounds, the members of OLSL may not share similar views on our country's key issues, but we all share a vision of the great nation Liberia will one day be. • Together, we look forward to forecasting the dream of a people united under one vision.

History of the OLSL • OLSL was conceived in April 2010 as a collaborative venture between ONE Liberia, an advocacy group comprised of young professional Liberians, and undergraduate students at the University of Liberia (LU).
History of the OLSL • The student-driven initiative is the result of discussions held by Mr. Taa Wongbe, a US-based Liberian entrepreneur and founding member of the ONE Liberia advocacy group, and a delegation of LU students led by Mr. Daniel Charles.
History of the OLSL • This initial delegation would carry out the task of conceptualizing, documenting and organizing the OLSL in collaboration with coordinator, Charles D. Cooper, a Liberia-based graphic designer and founding member of the ONE Liberia advocacy group. Today's launch is the result of these efforts.
