[OMS_MANAGERS] RARE Program - FINAL Call for Community Applications

[Titus Tomlinson]

Final Call for Community Applications
Pre-Applications for a 2013 - 2014 RARE placement are due on April 15, 2013!

Do you have Main Street related projects that you do not have resources to complete... If so, the Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE) Program might be your solution!
The mission of the RARE AmeriCorps Program is to increase the capacity of rural communities to improve their economic, social, and environmental conditions, through the assistance of trained graduate-level participants, from across the US.  These RARE AmeriCorps members live in and serve the communities for 11 months. RARE AmeriCorps participants assist communities in the development and implementation of projects for achieving a sustainable natural resource base and improving rural economic conditions. The RARE program is now in its 19th year; over the years we have placed more than 400 volunteers and served nearly every Oregon County.

Every year the RARE Program partners with a number of Main Street related organizations.  In the last two years alone, the RARE Program has partnered with: Astoria Downtown Historic District Association, La Grande Main Street, Milton-Freewater Downtown Alliance, Coos Bay Downtown Association, City of Toledo and the City of Canby.  Please visit our website or contact us for more information about the work we have carried out with the aforementioned organizations.

Pre-applications (due April 15, 2013) are available online as well. If you have any questions, please email us at: rare at uoregon.edu or call 541.346.2879.
