What is The RARE AmeriCorps Program?

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. RARE participants assist in the development and implementation of projects focused on increasing the vitality of the communities and organizations we serve. Our participants live in and serve communities for 11 months. The RARE AmeriCorps Program is now in its 21st Year and has placed more than 450 individuals and served every Oregon county.

Does my Organization Qualify for The RARE AmeriCorps Program?

RARE communities are organizations that have identified specific needs in rural areas. Eligible organizations include public agencies (including city, county, and regional governments); special districts (such as soil and water conservation districts, park and transportation districts); and also non-profit organizations. RARE projects<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ZZxzal5yeKdTr8QNAsy1AH6WEIf00yLzOE4bhkqu0oMXP6Srf6s6OizVDwUFGoP6oYHLehcvqPpuQDIez4aDCPpNaVkARMHemQCC_FrkaMQjWnZkAJtP5HMgb8apewX9NDirEuBC8vanzl9g5zB7JK0VxbhuJVITjgoIXf6q26J7EoJwODMpWKB6a2hL7s_qHuQKK30Ali8=&c=6P3KU6HK2PNt-pstBYEpVSLeFFqX2yxnHhrGFshhcJDvwPngUX2uRQ==&ch=fuh7iYhg_40Os0q0J4ZZ1qI_KwubUhWHoDXqz9W72vuLHX78JIW4og==> typically fall into four categories: natural resource development, community planning, food security/systems, and community and economic development.

How Can My Organization Participate?
To host a RARE member, each participating community or agency must provide a $22,000 match towards the placement, training, and support for the full-time RARE member. RARE AmeriCorps Program staff will administer the member's monthly stipend, medical insurance, and post-service educational award. To apply, communities must submit a pre-application<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ZZxzal5yeKdTr8QNAsy1AH6WEIf00yLzOE4bhkqu0oMXP6Srf6s6OizVDwUFGoP69j025NeMASyu5JlNVaNNo_O-gC-szv3vuycBoXID_wDzkC2YEgt8EFwVmXfrkDVeD1dcC9l2e4-V3X6k-zSwipEW25olqtLUbomkgn3RZT5LHP1hh7K66XpdZ0_r2xYo0fMtXSH47_hr9R42q2QoN34MZXk8906Q&c=6P3KU6HK2PNt-pstBYEpVSLeFFqX2yxnHhrGFshhcJDvwPngUX2uRQ==&ch=fuh7iYhg_40Os0q0J4ZZ1qI_KwubUhWHoDXqz9W72vuLHX78JIW4og==> to the program due by 5:00 PM on April 17th.
