Become a Student Leader

We are constantly inspired by students who use Figma both inside and outside of the classroom. We believe creating community while studying is an important part in growing and learning. Our Student Leaders facilitate a space for students to connect, grow, and learn.

If you’re interested in becoming a Student Leader and starting a group at your school, we want to hear from you!

Thank you for your interest, we'll be pausing leader applications for the 2023 school year. Please reach out to education@figma.com with your questions.
