Community

I often refer to DRC as an all-inclusive community. Everyone who wants to join us is welcome.

Becoming part of a community comes with innumerable and clear perks - arguably, the most important is the innate sense of belonging. However, as a society, we don't often talk about the responsibilities each person carries along with the benefits.  

Everyone gets to be themselves and do what they need to feel safe - but their needs and desires are no more important than anyone else. Respect is our one rule, and the very best definition we have come up with is - we take care of each other, and you can't do that if you ignore, judge, or make demands of others.

Therein lies the tension and where (sometimes) difficult, uncomfortable (that we want to avoid), and open conversation, amongst all ages, is the key to a thriving, diverse, and dynamic community - where individual growth within the group is the ultimate goal.

DRC News

Wow, it was a busy first week at both Centers of kiddos getting reacquainted and welcoming new faces to the crews.

This week's DRC True Story comes from DRC-East in Massena. After asking the question, a full-on discussion with links to scientific articles about gastropods ensued. This is just one example of how our kiddos are #freeranging their education.

This is a reminder that you can show your support by purchasing DRC Swag at our Printify shop.
