USFT is joining forces with the California Student Sustainability Coalition to create a superconvergence! This President's Day weekend, hundreds of youth and student leaders in the fair trade and sustainability movements will be joining us at UC Santa Cruz for a weekend of workshops, discussions, training, and fun. This conference will provide a means to: •Develop and strengthen inter-school connections and collaboration in order to deepen and expand the Sustainable Food & Fair Trade movement •Increase the number of skilled, knowledgeable and confident youth leaders throughout the Western United States. •Broaden the scope of the convergence to integrate Fair Trade & Sustainable Food-based Initiatives in an effort to foster new alliances and partnerships toward creating more just and sustainable communities and institutions. •Form relationships, light fires, and have fun.
