“The Encampment walks the talk: We are an intergenerational learning community firmly committed to advancing justice and equity. It is the kind of community we need, now more than ever.” — Faith Kares
The EFC community gathering planned for January 10 has been postponed to February 21, 2026, 9 a.m. Pacific/10 a.m. Mountain/11 a.m. Central/12 noon p.m. Eastern. Please save the date!
On Saturday, February 21, 2026, participants will gather virtually to meet our new Executive Director Dr. Faith R. Kares (she/her), board members, and recent alums. They will introduce our vision of expanding the EFC’s impact and capacity, and how we are meeting this moment of ongoing crisis and precariousness. We will break into small discussion groups where ideas can be shared about ways to strengthen the role and capacity of the EFC (and each of you!) in building youth leadership for social justice. Come prepared to connect and build with new and old friends; be inspired and inspire; and see youth leadership in action as recent alums serve as program deejays, emcees, and small group co-facilitators. This will be an event you do not want to miss!
Registration will open soon.
