Just Coffee Cooperative's delegations meet with, share meals, and often stay overnight in coffee growing communities.  We also visit local crafts people, artist collectives, traditional medicine healers, local radio stations, locally produced magazines, research organizations, permaculture and sustainable agriculture groups, United Nations and government officials, environmental groups, and many others depending upon the trip.  We seek to learn not just about where coffee comes from, but also about people's lives.  Informally, we take every opportunity to immerse ourselves in their culture and environment, visiting local markets, eating traditional foods, and attending local events.  We facilitate positive, creative, social
interactions, and work together to process of all that we are taking in, learning about, and experiencing.

Delegations are available to Just Coffee customers, friends, community members, avid coffee drinkers, and anyone with an interest in fair trade and cultural diversity.  There are no language requirements nor age limits for our delegations.  No matter where you live, if you have a positive attitude and desire to learn and participate, you are encouraged to join a Just Coffee delegation!
