World Student Christian Federation
The World Student Christian Federation (WSCF) is a federation of autonomous national Christian student organizations forming the youth and student arm of the global ecumenical movement.
In 2025, it has 117 affiliated student groups in 94 countries and 2 million members. Its headquarters are located in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Federation was founded was formed at a meeting of student leaders from ten North American and European countries in 1895 at Vadstena Castle in Sweden. Its first president was the American leader of the Young Men's Christian Association John R. Mott.
In 1910, the Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union split from the Student Christian Movement of Great Britain, due to disagreement with the SCM's move towards ecumenism and endorsement of new methods of biblical exegesis. In 1928, the latter founded the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship.
The WSCF newsletter Federation News started in 1921 and is published twice a year. The WSCF journal Student World was begun in 1908 but has had a broken history of publication.
In 1968, the Federation formed six regional committees which became largely autonomous in 1972: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, Near East, North America.
The WSCF records for the early 20th century are held at Yale Divinity School Library.
It holds Progressive Christian beliefs and studies various social justice issues, including trade justice, gender equality, globalization, racism, violence, war, HIV/AIDS, poverty, human rights, and ecology.
