This year it will be held at Earthseed Land Co-operative in Durham, North Carolina from July 27th to August 2nd. Art from Earthseed Land Co-operative Earthseed Land Co-operative describes themselves as, "a group of 8 black and brown Visionaries who walk out our belief in abundance by collaborating to acquire land for shared affordable housing, sustainable food production, environmental stewardship, community ritual and education space. Our collective is made up of farmers, entrepreneurs, professionals, and teachers who are currently engaged in creating alternative models for sustainability, equity, and cooperation within communities of color." At the Summer Co-op Academy, a week-long cooperative business bootcamp for youth-led co-ops at all stages of development, you'll have the opportunity to (un)learn how food co-ops can contribute to the historical struggles for decolonization, reparations, and collective liberation in the food system! Our Cooperative Growth Curriculum, which you'll receive at the Academy, uniquely centers racial, economic, and gender justice in cooperative development. It's a powerful tool whether you're thinking about starting a co-op, in the start-up phase, or looking to help your co-op evolve. As a participant, you'll: Meet other young people developing a range of co-ops in the food system Learn best practices in cooperative business development and management Share strategies to dismantle oppression in the food system and advance food and land sovereignty Connect with local solidarity economy projects, including food co-ops Heal, regenerate and have fun! The Racial Justice Fellowship is an opportunity for you to implement your passion project for justice in the food system. If awarded the Fellowship, you'll receive a $5,000 summer stipend, mentorship throughout your project period, and a full scholarship to the Summer Co-op Academy. You'll also benefit from networking and training opportunities during and after your Fellowship. You can (and should!) apply to both opportunities if you're age 18-30 and live in the U.S. No college experience necessary!
