Join us for the 2024 Encuentro!

Immokalee, FL ☀︎ Aug. 30 - Sep. 2, 2024

Calling all students, farmworker allies, and champions of Fair Food: the SFA Encuentro is back!

Back by popular demand, the SFA Encuentro has been a grassroots organizing tradition for over a decade, bringing students and young people from across the country together for a weekend of skill-building, strategizing, creativity, and reflection to ground ourselves in the farmworker justice movement and fight for Fair Food!

Become part of this historic fight of hope and resistance with farmworkers leading —and winning — their own struggle for systemic change.

Who We Are & How We Roll

  • Education

    We facilitate 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 now to join students and young people from across the country for the SFA Encuentro from Aug. 30 to Sep. 2!
