The Center for Social Transformation and Leadership, in partnership with the Foundation for Environmental Stewardship (FES) and sponsored by the Community Foundation for Snohomish County, will convene students, faculty, community leaders and state officials at Breaking Bread: Food Justice Summit and SDG Lab on April 21-22.

The SDG Lab, endorsed by all 193 UN member states, offers a top-notch training model for international cooperation on humanity’s most pressing challenges.
The program launches online on April 17 and continues in person on April 21 with a community panel of local leaders and nonprofits active in the food justice and sustainability field. On April 22, breakout sessions will be held to boost and activate the community, followed by a policy leaders' panel to discuss opportunities for change and action. A community fair featuring nonprofits and organizations will be held during lunch. Participants will receive a certificate and badge from the Foundation for Environmental Stewardship upon completion.
