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 Teach Corps.
