Are you passionate about issues in international development and sustainability? Are you curious about Fair Trade and the movement in Canada?
We have compiled resources from multiple Fair Trade organizations in Canada to give you an overview of what it means to volunteer your time with the Fair Trade movement.
Finding funding for your group’s activities can be challenging. The Canadian Fair Trade Network offers an advocacy fund to help Fair Trade groups put on events and create programs. Visit the Advocacy Fund page for mote details: http://cftn.ca/fair-trade-advocacy-fund
Reaching out to Fair Trade businesses can also be a great way to receive in-kind donations for special events!
