Abstract
Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE) envisions a network of emerging leaders that are addressing society’s most pressing issues from the rural Oregon perspective. As a result of RARE’s programming and relationships: community-based organizations have increased capacity, people are thriving across all identities and experiences, and members are successful in achieving their professional and personal goals.
RARE service should be accessible, enjoyable, impactful, and safe for all people regardless of their identity and background. Our goal is to eliminate barriers and disparities that exist in our membership, organization, and partnerships.
We strive for a RARE where…
• our diverse members are bringing value to rural communities and advancing their leadership and professional goals without fear of repercussions, discrimination, or oppression.
• we are relationship-based: connected to each other, the community, and organizations working to create a more just and equitable community.
• hosts and members are aligned with RARE’s mission, vision, and values and receiving valuable support and services as a result of their partnership with RARE.
• staff have the capacity to respond to host organization and member needs, provide host organization and member support, and identify and address equity issues.
