For fifteen years, the Resource Assistance for Rural Environments Program has been placing eager young professionals in rural communities across Oregon, and seeing great things come of it. In order to recognize the contribution of those who have served, and to look to the future of service in Oregon, we invite you to join us for a celebration of 15 years of RARE and 150 years of Oregon!
We are planning a two-day celebration to recognize the contribution of those who served and to look to the future of service in Oregon.
