[OMS_MANAGERS] RARE AmeriCorps Program - FINAL Call for Community Applications!

Tue Apr 3 10:16:37 PDT 2018

Good Morning All!

Reaching out on this lovely day to remind one of my favorite groups that RARE’s deadline for community applications is set for Friday, April 13th .  As most of you know, we absolutely love to work with Main Street Programs across the State of Oregon.  This year alone, we have participants working with Dallas Downtown Association, City of Canby, City of Monroe, Friends of Old Town Stayton, Independence Downtown Association, Reedsport Main Street Program and Revitalize Ontario on an array of Main Street related endeavors.  Additional information is provided in the flyer found below.  Please feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions about the program and/or our application process.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Regards,

Titus Tomlinson

What is The RARE AmeriCorps Program?

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. The RARE AmeriCorps Program is now in its 24th Year and has placed more than 475 individuals and served every Oregon county.

Does My Organization Qualify For The RARE AmeriCorps Program?
The RARE AmeriCorps Program works with organizations that have identified specific needs in rural areas. Eligible organizations <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bfQ8ECsLVY79Lukit1hukmLa-E83j-s6CllnBYjflvKDWiHvqCxsT-c_T0pJDmyugAAQUCfk3IbTcobJYDshbH47RRDOzGHFe9PfvlrREQ412J9ipKRJz4mGaSpbHZMN-UzasYG4FYV-uLYrzqHx9hvhgevpklgA40aC3wOVW0JTsRaXefUQ8X0zydymcatKU5fDz2ECLDk7WdrsUu54CBcX4emKPMZlRwTOIqc0Diy-aSw6TT4PHog38tZH2GZ0fZWiAsTVQBot2k3c1s_Vz7vKO9tUaOI9d5Wh8qokqlPna1VLmPahAT5ymd9w4Q83MY9ovLfEKqUvCWhMmoRyxDPVeEDDllYgMM0vgp1qTy5NHohWoff2WDnZUVBM0bFbw6xCPohSGXsljuKb1uZNKtCjHv_PSiUXfKgtwW-iFaJfN7vppG4bly_DjjggXcLWEK4z30fwezblA_9sdgHT5y5EzOJGzH2iG4ZGxXBE3AJmfeLlVBXLvg==&c=&ch=> include public agencies (including city, county, and regional governments); special districts (such as soil and water conservation districts, park and transportation districts); and non-profit organizations. RARE projects typically fall into the following categories: land use planning, downtown development, community and economic development, regional tourism, renewable energy, food systems planning, and natural resources planning.

How Can My Organization Participate?
To host a RARE member, each participating community or agency must provide a $23,500 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 Community Application<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bfQ8ECsLVY79Lukit1hukmLa-E83j-s6CllnBYjflvKDWiHvqCxsT-c_T0pJDmyubHcbzyRL_qAZUT0QEX1Q00GTbVgMokTqgLI2vS7wS81M4v8r2X6gOyZRdSGv90lNRX8zYka8Noc0GCNTwWrCdv5KSPYzKg_jpZZnMMWApMsWTvk7-GDQq-RaniFtwYu6al6jvRHY25mlGLeCV8GxrU8ay8Q3tB2LZrq7fdqegX_HsIX1whbusSnXmNH56itu2LhIX2zg9sqPzrFRcaM5uNrPYE1gGWavk9zCymK4lt2RR0Qw79xoAy8vb1CiZm4Ia913etSkKOQadGypzpgBo6CjIx5JJ2yfWbwJST8o_7484_JZ6ZT25VZP0WChAmAfnpMntQbyy0HL3zP8Zw4vkqfzSdcpmaMf4TAtfsn-3dZWUyYf4Tr7Q851H4EqEIByzWulPUoWgu-ca07K543BYw==&c=&ch=> by 5:00 PM on April 13th.
