Join Our Community
Healthy, resilient community is the inspiration behind our programming, and the thread that weaves it together. The Worthy Campus serves as a living classroom, where we offer natural science education through public observatory access, gardening classes and school visits. We are active in our community, using our volunteer program to complete beautification projects on-site at our demonstration gardens and off-site at parks, school gardens and communal spaces.
We're also building partnerships with other mission-aligned organizations to help spread the word that community livability requires adaptation to a changing world and full inclusion of all Central Oregon residents.
​
While we're not a "club" that requires membership dues, we are an organization that meets people where they're at, encouraging involvement at any level.
