The Fair Trade Ambassador Program recognizes individuals for demonstrating a strong commitment
to fair trade through their passion, dedication and advocacy. Ambassadors will be given the resources
and support to develop leadership skills, gain experience and build connections with national
networks. With their knowledge and experience surrounding fair trade, ambassadors can teach and
support Towns, Schools, Campuses, Faith groups, Workplaces, and others how to become leaders
that contribute to a more sustainable and just world.
