Some of the most thoughtful and passionate organizations use Resources Unlimited
Foundation to become more thoughtful and more passionate, and more successful.
A
one-of-a-kind grassroots educational institute. Through special projects the
activist education institute provides research-based educational, consultation, planning,
and support services to community centered organizations working in
boundary-crossing areas of social justice and partnership building. The projects
and programs, serving a network of like-minded nonprofit and civic
organizations, help draw the connections between the theory of care and the action of
care, between the words used and the meaning of the words. Six educational and experiential service programs deploy dozens of
practical ideas and methods for teaching and demonstrating concrete ways of
crossing the boundaries of separation and isolation in an age made more complex
by identity politics and intense pluralism. Results of the programs include
positive,
measurable improvements in capacity building.
The improvements address critical human service needs through new forms of
shared leadership as well as new understandings of an individual’s capacity
for service to others through volunteerism and civic engagement.
Service programs teach and train institutions and individuals to recognize and
maximize the use of moral, social, and political resources to build community
(and to build communities) of justice, equity, and purpose.
The six programs are Dialogues in Democracy, Supper & Conversation,
Intergenerational Mentoring, Festival of Potluck Foods, Faces of Community, and
Conversations That Matter. The programs help to improve methods of advocacy,
volunteer growth, community engagement and outreach, and policy shaping and
making. Most important, programs teach and show ways of using the skills of
personalism to create untried collaborations and to generate renewed
understandings of the dignity of the human person.
Program services include designing and organizing conferences, forums,
dialogues, and conversations as cooperative public events of empowerment in
celebration of human worth and possibility.
Because programs teach a range of moral-ethical frameworks for
problem-solving, they are able to build capacity for creating transformative
experiences respectful of human complexity.
