Resources for Social Change (RSC) is a training program developed by ROOTS that teaches ideas and techniques to create social change through art. This program began in recognition of the need to institutionalize ROOTS’ knowledge in the field. RSC trainers are artists experienced and schooled in the methods of using and bringing art into communities that traditionally may not have considered the important role that the arts can play in addressing oppressions and effecting social change.
