Movement Building

GRC Panel The Resourceful Communities Program provides education and empowerment through on-going regional leadership and organizational development training workshops.

These trainings help build rural leaders’ capacity to sustain their organizations and advocate for "triple bottom line" policies and funding.  Sessions provide skill-building opportunities, peer education, and the opportunity to learn about similar challenges and efforts going on in other communities.

Planning and outreach with rural grassroots leaders helps RCP’s partners develop and implement strategies for educating policy- and decision-makers about “triple bottom line” approaches that are creating substantive social/ economic change in rural North Carolina.

Project Spotlight
Resourceful Communities is working with partners to establish NC's first community forest on a 532-acre parcel in Hoke County.

Community forestry engages local partners in planning, management and stewardship. Adjacent to forestlands with the second largest US population of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, this community forest will restore habitat, provide economic opportunities and more.
