We’re pleased to have scholarships available for educational opportunities that relate to the goals of our food council network:
-
foundations in racial equity understanding
-
community organizing
-
policy and advocacy
-
food systems
We’re sharing the following upcoming educational opportunities, and welcome your suggestions of similar educational opportunities that would benefit your food council work. Our hope is that you will be able to engage in these events and take back resources and learnings to your council in service of your food council missions.
We ask that you request funds for a single event this spring in order to distribute the funds to as many different food council members as possible.
