What Is The RARE AmeriCorps Program?

The mission of the Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (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 members. RARE members assist in the development and implementation of projects focused on increasing the vitality of the communities and organizations we serve. Our members live in and serve communities for 11 months.

Does My Organization Qualify For The RARE AmeriCorps Program?

RARE communities include 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=001neXJ_K51tjcuMg_FjSsOmfeggNXRaiMNNfcyjfqf-rhHUmfNdJW4NxGkwTvxbqmXdwu9DewjxSaoNQa88SuxW5T2m2usBzWCc4owfyQmdSKPdNxFs983K0U9KcGouCpcF-tLkQaUoWFeMxDFpClu4msVaqzQ6rwLIHb340tgwAWULeKChZHU-ckMcRgMq-z2a67-_7fYdhk-nVM-bsQkMBfWTYOPIPPl3Gf-rodqXh9hXcwI_fUhGpJ1ef2dffuXHvMcBdrFfp2E7BTpeKLhUBGOmYNLu9QzRGUPTxItAZJln3EXNoO-lX-SUPZmAzih2PUVBiMUbAWqKFB1TLZ0XAaeY3f_LijuVmm88PYaA6aKGtq9szc-y3vBVc8CJK_E&c=GCYyPp4-t1q7--iJrehDX2ucyg51vj8gofF4i26u2_E7uJtLFKiP0w==&ch=8Pol_tkwMA22v3Yg7J_LrJOOxukhtfMIBUzr6lTMlrOdHp_DzMHL_w==> typically fall into four categories: land use planning, community and economic development, food systems planning, and natural resources planning.

How Can My Organization Participate?
