United Students for Fair Trade is a collaboration of students working towards economic justice through the promotion of Fair Trade products, principles and policies.

To inspire a global economy that empowers communities everywhere through human relationships that are just and based on respect and dignity.

USFT is a national network of student organizations advocating around Fair Trade products, policies, and principles. We have three main functions. First, we organize--we work to consolidate and coordinate the power of the over 100 active student Fair Trade organizations in the U.S. Second, we do leadership development and capacity building, primarily through intensive international exchanges and skill-building conferences. Last, we serve as a resource group for student-based affiliates looking for anything from a phone number to research materials to strategic advice to internship opportunities.
