Posted by on March 26, 2012

Oxfam America is urgently recruiting new volunteers for 2012-2013. If you are interested in joining the Oxfam Action Corps in Philadelphia please sign up and spread the word as soon as possible at http://www.oxfamactioncorps.org.

Join the Oxfam Action Corps Philadelphia to support women farmers, fight global hunger, and build abetter food system!  You will meet great people in the Philadelphia area and work together to change laws that can save lives, defend the rights of the world’s poorest farmers, and protect communities from rising food prices and climate change.  You will gain leadership skills, have fun, and change the world!

Anybody can join the local effort!   All levels of experience are welcome.  You can also apply for Oxfam’s free four-day leadership training in Washington D.C. May 12 – May 15. If you are selected to be an organizer you will be able to attend this training in DC! Oxfam Action Corps is in 15 major cities throughout the U.S and Philadelphia is one city that is in desperate need of organizers for the 2012-2013 year! Please apply for this great opportunity in your community to make lasting changes for the world!

This year, we will mobilize for the GROW campaign for global food justice.  The women and men in poor countries who struggle to grow enough food to feed their families are facing competition for land and water, rising prices, and climate change.  We will call for laws that support women and farmers, sustainable practices, and resilience to climate change, and ensure a better future for people in the poorest regions of the world.

This is a year-round volunteer opportunity! Find out more and sign up at http://www.oxfamactioncorps.org.
