Affiliated Projects

Our Affliated Project network is how we partner with other organizations in the U.S. committed to following Christ through ecological conservation.

What is an Affiliated Project?

An A Rocha USA Affiliated Project is an independent, long-term, community-based project that aligns with the mission of A Rocha USA: To live our God’s call to care for creation and equip others to do likewise. We seek to cultivate fruitful and mutually encouraging relationships with our Affiliated Projects as we communicate, pray, champion one another, and practically support mutual flourishing.

Our Affiliated Projects

The Pacific Rim Institute for Environmental Stewardship

Whidbey Island, Washington

The Pacific Rim Institute (PRI) engages science, culture, and community for ecological restoration. PRI has a decades-long history of scientific research, university-level field study, ongoing ecological restoration, and community education, and models sustainable living practices, including an expansive solar array.

A feature of our partnership with the PRI is our collaboration on a yearlong internship managed by PRI with mentorship support from A Rocha USA. Starting September 2024, interns live for a year on the PRI campus to get environmental work experience, learn practical conservation skills, and have opportunities to develop ecotheological awareness.

We are grateful for the good work of our Affiliated Projects!
