Mission
OGALLALA COMMONS INC. MISSION: TO INSPIRE PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS, AND COMMUNITIES AND SERVE THEM WITH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING THAT NURTURES LEADERSHIP, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, STEWARDSHIP OF NATURAL RESOURCES, AND ADVANCEMENT OF SUSTAINABLE LOCAL FOOD SYSTEMS. VISION: VIBRANT RURAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS. OUR REGIONS' COMMONWEALTH CAN BE INDENTIFIED AS WATER AND MINERAL CYCLE, RENEWABLE ENERGY, EDUCATION, HEALTH AND RECREATION, THE ARTS, HISTORY, A SENSE OF PLACE, WILDLIFE, THE FOODSHED, AND SPIRITUALITY. THESE ARE 12 ESSENTIAL FOUNDATIONS FOR COMMUNITY VITALITY. OGALLALA COMMONS USES A FOUR-PART APPROACH TO REGENERATE THESE COMMONWEALTHS: 1. BUILDING A COLLABORATIVE NETWORK; 2. CONDUCTING EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH; 3. FOSTERING A SENSE OF PLACE; AND 4. EMPOWERING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES.
