Regional Hubs
Working together to build strong and sustainable rural communities.
Rural School Collaborative “Hubs” provide a flexible and cost-effective infrastructure for the organization. The relationships between the Hubs and RSC are mutually beneficial.
RSC and its Hub partners work together by:
- sharing stories and information;
- working together on authentic projects;
- exploring funding opportunities to support rural schools and communities;
- collaborating on signature efforts like Grants in Place and Rural Teacher Corps.
