RIC 2008 - The march begins!

Events
Winter Leadership Institute, February 2012
November 11, 2011
This
President's Day Weekend (February 17-19) outside of Tuscon, Arizona, Rooted In Community
(RIC), in partnership with the Tuscon Community Food Bank's Youth Farm
Project, will be hosting our first Winter Leadership Institute. If you are a youth or adult mentor who works in food justice and youth empowerment, this gathering is for you!
A limited number of youth will be selected to join a national youth
working group to design activities and campaigns around the Youth Food Bill of Rights created at this past summer's RIC Summit. We are aiming to select a
diverse, committed, amazing mix of youth for this group! All youth are
encouraged to apply. There will be facilitated brainstorms, skill
building workshops on using media tools, talking to your legislators,
understanding food policy, and using creative arts to inspire and
organize in your communities.
Adults will have the opportunity to collaborate and learn from other leaders in food justice and youth empowerment work to identify best practices and challenges we face in our programs, have structured sessions to share materials and curriculum, and
attend workshops on weaving national advocacy work into your programs,
financial sustainability for your program, and using creative arts and
media as tools for your work. There will also be shared activities and
time to reflect, retreat, and build personal relationships with one
another. Please follow the links below to the applications and complete by December 1, 2011:

Adult Application
More information, including logistical details and registration packet will be available in early January.

RIC Logistics and Costs
March 15, 2010
As the 2010 RIC National Conference approaches, our member groups begin to figure out how much money they need to attend. Here is some information about logistics and costs.
The registration fee for the conference (last year it was $150 for youth and $200 for adults). The registration fee covers lodging at the conference site, all meals, and field trip transportation.
Each local group raises funds to pay for transportation to the conference and any side trips that the group wants to take on its own, as well as personal expenses for group members.
Groups raise funds through local dinners, small grants, individual contributions. If you have a particularly stellar fund-raising idea, please let us know!
The registration fees pay for about half of conference costs. RIC as the national network raises the additional funds required for the conference as well as operating expenses for the organization.
If you have more questions, please let us know.
