The Western Organization of Resource Councils (WORC) is a grassroots network of eight state organizations with a collective membership of 19,935 individuals and 39 local chapters. Established in 1989, the WORC Education Project, a 501(c)(3) corporation, supports the charitable and educational activities of WORC. Their mission is to achieve a democratic, sustainable, and just society through community action, focusing on stewardship and conservation of land, water, and natural resources, economic and social justice for rural communities, and empowering local citizens to participate in civic life.
WORC's board of directors consists of dedicated individuals from diverse backgrounds, including farmers, ranchers, environmentalists, and community activists. They work towards building a better and more equitable food system, advocating for clean and renewable energy, and addressing issues related to coal, oil, and gas. Through strategic research, public education, and leadership development, the WORC Education Project aims to create long-term social change and empower citizens to actively contribute to the well-being of their communities.
