Who We Are & How We Roll

Education
SFA facilitates opportunities for students and farmworkers to come together in an exchange of knowledge and experience through interactive presentations and workshops. We cultivate a critical analysis that reveals the intersections between people on opposite ends of the corporate food industry.
-
Leadership
In all aspects of our work, SFA focuses heavily on developing the skills and confidence of students and youth around the country so they can have the tools to organize for social justice around a broad array of issues on campus and in their communities.
-
Action
We are committed to building a youth base whose understanding of systemic change and injustice in the fields leads them to act in solidarity with farmworkers and work toward a shared vision of collective liberation. Apply to the Steering Committee by December 15th to join a team of student organizers!
