Community Resource Volunteers began officially in 1977, but its roots go back to the 1960s. The idea is simple: identify local resource people, materials, events, and facilities that can be used to benefit community members old or young. CRV initiatives span the arts, outdoor recreation, science and technology experiences for junior high school and elementary students, college campus engineering laboratory workshops, and rural transportation. The 15 minute documentary at bit.ly/crv48879 is built from the images in this slide set. And while the 200+ images can be viewed according to one's own interests, only the youtube presentation includes narration and CRV founder/director Bill Richards' commentary. See crvonline.org for more information.
