In this role, you’ll have a chance to work side-by-side with organizers in communities and on campuses in a specific region to help grow the Fair Trade movement, and have a lot of fun in the process!

In order to increase the impact and visibility of Fair Trade Campaigns, Fellows in each region will oversee a Regional Leadership Team consisting of four to six volunteers. Fellows and Regional Leadership Teams will work closely together and will have access to training opportunities and resources, including an in-person leadership training in Fall 2017.
