TAKE PART
The Institute seeks to embolden right livelihood through employment with local research centers for and by the people across the country. Our programs center on Education, Research and Sustainable Economic Development.
You can help make this dream possible by educating others about our work and encouraging their small monthly support contribution! We’d be happy to talk with you individually or as a group to that end.
Let others know about our good work and vision. Encourage them to learn more and even participate in community research groups in their area. We are happy to support people to develop a group in their area.
If you’d like to volunteer and become part of the Institute, we’d love your help! Please send information about your background and interests. We would talk together to formulate a consistent plan for regular work contribution to our efforts. In exchange, we provide training and hopeful team engagement. If this is of interest, be in touch. Once a good role is found for you, you’d be taking part in building out of the organization and/or contribute to research, educational outreach, and local sustainable development projects. We have a selection process, but do our best to find the right fit for all volunteers.
If we decide that its a good fit and you start volunteering, please keep in mind that we may expect you to track your time. We request that you do so we can substantiate match and in-kind contributions for future funders. Our current team of experts and advisors provide services pro bono.
By Summer of 2025 and as a direct result of expanding our educational outreach, we hope to secure sufficient funding to pay those that build and strengthen the Institute as well as those who support local people in conducting community research.
