Getting Real - 2026 RFC Student Retreat
Photo from 2025
Are you a college student interested in Food Justice? A sustainable future? Do you care about farmworkers and other food-chain workers? Are you curious about how your campus food money fills the pockets of giant corporations?
This gathering is for you! (And your friends too)
2 and a half days of trainings, workshops, discussions, and fun with Real People and Real Food!
Join students from across the country and RFC staff working for Food Justice!
How to join us:
-
Let us know you intend to join us! It will only take a minute and you’ll be in.
-
We will send an email to gathering more details around your food, lodging, and travel needs in late April, so keep an eye out for it!
We’ll use that information to finalize our plans.
-
We are committed to supporting your travel and sharing access to funds equitably. Travel stipends are available, and we will do our best to meet as many needs as we can.
-
We’ll send out detailed information in May, helping you understand what the Retreat will be like day to day.
You’ll get a packing list, agenda, and more.
-
Now all that's left to do is pack your bags and get excited for our time together!
-
Our team will be steadily working on the agenda, meal planning, and logistics.
If you are excited about helping us with any of it, we welcome you to reach out!
