10 Ways to Get Involved

We're so glad you found Partners for Just Trade and hope that you find our website useful for learning about Fair Trade and a great place to find unique products for yourself and for others. Now we want to help you find out more about Fair Trade and how to get yourself and your community involved.

Visit the Fair Trade section of our website to learn more and download resources about Fair Trade.

Once you've learned what Fair Trade is and how it benefits others, share your knowledge with other people who do not know about Fair Trade. Host a talk at your local coffee shop, school, library, or place of worship.

Sell a box of a variety of PJT products at your school, place of worship, or at local events. It's a great way to support our nearly 100% volunteer-run organization and let people know of an alternative way to shop. We even give you promotional materials to make your sale as effortless as possible.

Have a party and serve Fair Trade coffee, chocolate, and fruit. Equal Exchange has a free house party kit that includes coffee and tea samples and a short DVD.

Find stores that carry Fair Trade and shop there. Fill out comment cards at stores that don't and ask them to carry more Fair Trade products. You can also join the Adopt-a-Supermarket Campaign and they'll give you resources to help.
