Volunteer Opportunities

Join Fair Trade San Diego in promoting fair trade in San Diego County.  To get more involved, think about joining one of the following committees:

Social Media - Through Twitter and Facebook, along with our blog, newsletter, and listserv we are always working to connect with those interested in fair trade in new and exciting ways.  Help maintain our social media outreach and generate new ideas on ways we can reach out to members and non-members alike.

Outreach & Education - Fair Trade San Diego knows that one of the best ways to get people excited about fair trade and its benefits is through education.  Whether we are planning educational topics for our meetings or educational outreach to the community, we know face-to-face conversations about fair trade is a great way to get new people involved.  Help create ideas for educational outreach and connect with the community to promote fair trade!

Fair Trade Towns - Could La Mesa, CA be the next Fair Trade Town?  Fair Trade San Diego would definitely like to see this happen.  As FTSD reaches out to community members, congregations and elected officials, be a part of the conversation.  Help organize meetings, implement strategy and goals and help make La Mesa, CA the next Fair Trade Town

Fundraising - Brochures and educational materials, as well as funding to participate in ongoing community fairs and other events are great ways to connect with new and old friends of fair trade.  Help FTSD raise funds through sales, donations and grants so the organization can continue its important mission!
