We’re looking for two passionate, skilled organizers in each of the following regions: Mid Atlantic, Northeast, Great Lakes and Southwest.* The fellowship program lasts 14 months, from August 2019 to October 2020, and we offer a modest stipend.

*See details about the four regions below.

2017-18 Fair Trade Campaigns Fellow


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 a leadership training in Fall 2019.

For a better idea of the kind of work that Fellows and Leadership Teams take on, please take a look at the Workplan of the Regional Leadership Team.

My fellowship with Fair Trade Campaigns was a priceless opportunity. I gained credible skills in grassroots organizing, confidence in my own ability to make lasting change, and a ton of experience in the working world.”
