Are you passionate about Fair Trade and social justice? Are you a student or recent graduate looking for rewarding part-time work? Do you want to gain hands-on experience supporting grassroots organizers, developing leaders, building regional networks, and executing communications strategies?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, read on to find out more about the 2021-21 Fair Trade Campaigns Fellowship in the Great Lakes, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Regions!

Fair Trade Campaigns is hiring eight Fellows to support our work advocating for Fair Trade in communities and on college campuses across the country.

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 July 2020 to September 2021, and we offer a modest stipend.

*See details about the four regions below.

“My time working with Fair Trade Campaigns as one of the Southwest Regional Fellows was a life changing experience. I have cared about sustainability for years, yet never really felt as though I had a niche until I learned about Fair Trade and conscious consumerism. Working as a Fellow gave me the opportunity to meet many enthusiastic advocates, all working towards a more ethical world, and I will forever be grateful for those connections that continue on after my time with the fellowship ends.”

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 2020.

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.

“I learned so much from othersand had the chance to get more involved with the different pockets of Fair Trade that existed right around me. It was so inspiring to be able to work hands-on with different groups of people that all cared so much for the same cause! Organizing network calls, helping local schools/universities plan events, and learning about what creative initiatives various campaigns have initiated was super inspiring, and I’m excited to carry all the tools and skills that I have learned with me!”
