Honor Someone by Sponsoring 2025 Encampers

What’s our role in making sure we have a living democracy in our future?
One answer to this question is to invest in the development of youth activists by donating to our Spring Sponsorship Fund. We are raising money to fund young people whose families cannot afford the full program fee. That’s how we fund diversity of leadership now and for the future. We depend on individual donations to do this — your support makes this possible! The summer program will focus on the theme “Justice Has No Borders,” bringing together young people from across the nation who are passionate about shaping our country’s future to be more just for everyone. This theme is deeply aligned with the immigration-focused lens of the program and its layered meaning — “borders” can represent not only national boundaries, but also the invisible lines between schools, communities, identities, and even ways of thinking. Justice must move beyond these borders.
This is the work the Encampment has been doing since its inception and is committed to doing going forward.

Videos Of Alums Talking About Their EFC Experiences

Alumni Experiences Videos (1940-present)
In the summer of 2021, in honor of the 75th anniversary of EFC’s founding, we brought alums together by decade groups. They participated in Zoom meetings, shared their memories of the EFC and how that experience changed them and influenced their lives. These videos show excerpts from these meetings along with excerpts from several recorded interviews from recent years. Visit our Alum Stories page to view.

At the Encampment, we created community …
We Encampers come together as a community. We bring our ideas together and form our own government and try to connect with each other. We bring diversity together and learn about each other’s cultures. You learn about other people’s struggles. African-American, Latino, Native American, Caucasia —you are not the only one who is going through something. EFC challenges your mind. You have to look at your opinion and why you have it. You think of ways you want to change your community. It’s a whole new world.
