Fellowship Summary

The Real Food Fellowship is a nine-month program beginning June 2011 that supports 8-10 emerging leaders (ages 18-29) around the county to become powerful voices for food justice in their communities and on the national scene.  We welcome organizers, artists, and generally awesome people who are newer to the food movement as well as food justice advocates looking to deepen their work.

The program will connect fellows with peers and mentors, and it will develop their communications and leadership skills.  Fellows will serve as connectors and spokespeople in a growing movement for an equitable and ecological food system.  They will identify new leaders in their communities, represent Live Real at conferences and other events, and influence the national debate about food through media/art projects.

Able to connect their food to other social justice and environmental issues, we seek exceptional candidates whose creativity and charisma will help change the dominant culture.

Opportunity

Real Food Fellows are responding to an unfair and unsustainable food system.  It is time to hear these voices.
