Food Justice Workshops

foodjusticeworkshops

In partnership with Oakland Food Policy Council (OFPC), HOPE Collaborative created a Food Justice Curriculum to promote food justice and teach participants about food access in Oakland, labor in the food system, environmental impacts, and more. Below are training materials that are available to anyone who is interested in leading a training in their community.

HOPE is available for technical assistance to train individuals or organizations in implementing the curriculum and can facilitate up to 2 sessions free of charge. Please contact Mario Balcita at mario@hopecollaborative.net or (510) 444-4212 for any requests or questions.
