February 20-22 in Chicago, IL at Loyola University

Registration will be on a sliding scale from $20-$30.

Join us for a weekend of skill building, networking with other student and movement leaders, and planning regional Fair Trade strategy!

Learn more about the Fair Trade movement, as well as leadership and organizing skills!

We will provide as much housing, breakfast and lunches as we can.

We will also be taking workshop proposals, if you'd like to facilitate one.

Submit a workshop proposal here!
