Headwaters Summer Training Camp
Take time this summer to increase your skills and sharpen your tools to be a more effective organizer on your campus! SEAC is having a week-long training camp and we'd love for you to be part of it! Join us for Headwaters this July 26 - August 1st at the Epworth Retreat Center in High Falls, NY.
As this generation continues to build our power, strengthening SEACs grassroots and national networks will be integral to a sustainable movement. Headwaters will empower you with the tools to organize your fellow youth for social and environmental justice!
Workshops include, but are not limited to:
- Uprooting environmental racism and injustice
- Campaign planning
- Power mapping
- Nonviolent direct action in social movements
- Anti-oppression and collective liberation
- Fundraising (grassroots and grant writing)
- Local food systems
- Media, including web 2.0 organizing
- Permaculture & sustainable design
- Leadership development.
Part of the week will be open for SEACers to self-organize workshops, projects, screen printing, stamp making, writing or zines. We love popular education and know that the best teachers are often our peers! Additionally, we'll be doing a sustainability service project at the Epworth Center to leave it better than we found it.
Camping out is not required, but is encouraged. We'll cook our own meals in the kitchens provided. SEAC is a participatory organization and those who take part in Headwaters can pitch in to help create an exciting week of learning, sharing and fun!
