RARE Helps Rural Communities
Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE), administered through the University of Oregon, is a program aimed at helping rural communities improve their capacity to impact economic, social, and environmental conditions by providing trained graduate students who will live and work there for a year. RARE is currently supported through grants from several state and federal agencies, with each participating community providing $17,000 of the approximately $37,000 needed to place, train, and support a full-time RARE participant.
