[OMS_MANAGERS] RARE Program - Final Call for Applications!

[Resource Assistance Rural Environments]

Good Morning,



Just a quick reminder to those considering applying to the RARE Program that Community Pre-Applications are due by 5:00pm on April 18th.  Please feel free to contact me via email or telephone if you have any questions about the RARE program and/or our placement process.



This year alone, we have participants working with La Grande Main Street Downtown, Milton-Freewater Downtown Alliance, Coos Bay Downtown Association, Sandy Main Street, City of The Dalles Main Street and Port Orford Main Street Revitalization Association on an array of Main Street related projects.  Whether it is developing a restaurant guide, coordinating and organizing La Grande’s first annual Eastern Oregon Beer Festival or taking the lead on a strategic planning process…  our members are making a difference in rural communities across the State of Oregon!



Please take a look at the following announcement and attached flyer for more information about the RARE Program.

Do you have community building, main street, downtown development or planning 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 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 participants live in and serve the communities for 11 months.  RARE participants assist in the development and implementation of projects focused on increasing the vitality of the communities and organizations we serve.  The RARE Program is now in its 20th year and has placed more than 400 volunteers and served nearly every Oregon County.



For more information about the RARE Program, including the benefits and the costs of the program, please visit our website at http://csc.uoregon.edu/rare/.  Pre-applications (due April 18, 2014) are available online as well.
