Nurturing The Network

 Resourceful Communities actively provides opportunities for our rural grassroots partners to connect with each other and benefit from an engaged network.  

Nurturing this network reduces the isolation many rural community leaders experience; allows for cross-pollination of ideas and responses to challenges; connects people across race, age, economic status and geography; and helps Resourceful Communities build a movement that advocates for the triple bottom line.

We nurture our network by:

		Grassroots Convenings Our annual gathering is a place where grassroots partners network, learn more about issues that affect their communities, build skills and connect with resources. Learn more.
		Peer Learning Visits These field trips, focused on specific topics such as sustainable agriculture or alternative energy, allow partners to learn directly from peer organizations.
		Celebrating Our Partners By showcasing partners within our network and beyond, others learn from and engage with innovative work being done on the ground. Check out our latest partner feature.
