April 24-27, 2006
Applications available NOW and due soon!

Once again, The Food Project’s BLAST (Building Local Agricultural Systems Today) Initiative will be organizing a youth delegation to Kellogg’s 2006 Food and Society (FAS) Conference. This program is designed to increase the presence of youth (ages 16-25) at the conference in order gain the creative input of tomorrow’s leaders and to help bridge generations. The Food Project is running a pre-conference day for the youth to help them prepare to contribute and gain as much as possible from the conference.

Youth can mean high school students (juniors or seniors), college students, and other young adults under the age of 25.

We encourage you to apply. Applications are available from our website, at http://www.thefoodproject.org/blast/internal1.asp?ID=434. Lodging and most meal costs will be covered in full, and there is some scholarship money available to assist with travel. Applications are due by February 10, 2006.

If you have any questions or are considering applying, please contact Dylan Fitz at 617-442-1322 (x21) or at .
