About the Rural Trust's Capacity Building Program
Last Updated: October 02, 2009
The Rural School and Community Trust's Capacity Building staff help build the capacity of grassroots leaders and community-based organizations to engage in local school reform in vulnerable rural communities, create strong out-of-school supports for student learning, and establish a network of rural activists who will develop and advocate for policies and practices to improve education for students.
The goal is to build community-based infrastructures and programs to move vulnerable rural youths and families out of poverty through education and asset-building, and improve their ability to remain in their home communities.
To do this, the Rural Trust partners with community-based organizations to build their capacity to provide out-of-school support for youth.
Capacity Building staff offer support to rural areas throughout the U.S. Examples of specific programs are listed below.
