The Grand Canyon Trust is hosting a summer long field-based experiential education series based throughout Navajo and Hopi communities to learn how communities are enacting a "just transition" post-extraction economies. This program is designed specifically to mobilize young Native people from tribal communities and train them on environmental movement making. This program will also provide a stipend to all participants upon completion.

The program will be taking place in Northern Arizona across four weekends this summer. Locations will range from Tuba City to Kykotsmovi Village to Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon. Participants will need to meet us at the designated location each weekend, if you have your own transportation, or meet in Flagstaff to carpool.

Dates:
July 1-3
July 29-31
August 19-21
September 9-11

Example activities include:
• Hear from Native entrepreneurs
• Help out at the Hopi Tutskwa Permaculture Institute and other farms

The application deadline has been extended to June 8, 2022, @ 5 pm. Apply now! https://www.grandcanyontrust.org/leadershift-2022
