The youth will receive training on local food systems, community organizing, policy advocacy, and strategic communications skills, and them be given an opportunity to engage with their schools and communities working on the issues and campaigns they care most about.
Participants will be asked to research their issue, organize a campus or community event on their issue, and write an impact report, newsletter story or other written communication on their issue.
