Welsh Labour Students (Welsh: Llafur Myfyrwyr Cymru) is an independent student organisation that is the official student wing and a registered socialist society of Welsh Labour, and the Welsh wing of Labour Students.
Welsh Labour Students aim to bring Labour values to campuses and represent students within the Labour Party across Wales. WLS hold regular events namely its Annual Conference in November, which is usually held in the city of one of its "constituent clubs". In addition, members of Welsh Labour Students are often entitled to attend events in Welsh Labour and Labour Students as delegates to represent their organisation.
The most active clubs within Welsh Labour Students are; Aberystwyth Labour Students, Cardiff Labour Students, Bangor Labour Students and Swansea Labour Students.
The organisation was founded more recently than their Scottish sister organisation Scottish Labour Students but has existed in some form or another for well over a decade. The most recent incarnation of Welsh Labour Students was officially founded in 2007 by the Chair at the time, Luke Young. In 2012 reform to Labour Students meant that the Chair of Welsh Labour Students replaced the Wales Co-Ordinator on Labour Students National Committee, solidifying the position of Welsh Labour Students in National Labour Students' structures.
