Community Service Center Programs
The CSC is currently administering three programs designed to serve the needs of rural communities in Oregon, and provide OUS students with experiential, issue-focused service learning opportunities.

Community Planning Workshop (CPW) is a campus-based, two-term required course in which teams of University of Oregon Community and Regional Planning graduate students work under the direction of CSC staff members performing contract research for client groups in Oregon.
Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE) trains and places graduate level students in communities where they live and work for a year helping to improve economic and environmental conditions in rural Oregon.
Oregon Natural Hazards Workgroup (ONHW) assists communities by addressing natural hazards through the application of land-use and environmental planning techniques, research, public education and community capacity building; and offering educational opportunities in applied natural hazard mitigation activities to students.
