Escape Your Professional Silo: Define Your Own Unique Specialty.
Every place has unique challenges, dreams and resources. Each of us has a unique blend of experiences, training, interests, and talents.
What people need in the real world seldom matches traditional professional and academic labels. Maybe you’re good at facilitating inclusive economic revitalization in post-mining communities. Maybe you love to restore biodiversity on islands. Maybe you were thrown into a long-term post-disaster recovery project, and developed stakeholder engagement skills specific to rebuilding. That becomes your ReCOLLEGE specialty.
The more you focus on it, the more you become THE expert on it. As that happens, write about it and we’ll publish you in REVITALIZATION.
Do What You Love For A Living,
If Only For A Few Hours/Month.
As a ReCOLLEGE Instructor, you can refocus
your work around your enthusiasms within the
global, trillion-dollar regenerative growth trend.

If you’re part of an organization, your membership on the ReCOLLEGE faculty can attract publicity, clients, investors, grants, and employees. Coming soon at ReCOLLEGE.org!
Prefer Not To Work Alone?
Join or create a Solutions Team with fellow Instructors.
Many urban revitalization, climate resilience and natural resource restoration issues are complex, needing a variety of experts. But most places have similar kinds of challenges, so why not create a Solutions Team to solve them?
That saves the clients from the tedious process of finding the right expert for each aspect. If you can’t find an existing ReCOLLEGE team to join, you can launch a new Solutions Team yourself and invite fellow Instructors to join it.
Each Solutions Team can establish an hourly videochat rate for the team, with the distribution of those fees pre-set by the team members.
WHAT KINDS OF CHALLENGES CAN ReCOLLEGE SOLUTIONS TEAMS ADDRESS?
Solutions Teams are good for holistic community or regional agendas that integrate economic, social & environmental issues.
Or that integrate the renewal of natural and built assets. Teams can specialize in specific kinds of economies, such as
mining, fishing, recreational, manufacturing, post-industrial, etc. They can also specialize by country, language, etc.
Your Title And Profession Don’t Matter:
Only your experience or training, and your “re” orientation.
Many of your students will likely be old hands at their normal professions, but will be new practitioners when it comes to helping a place revitalize, regenerate, or recover. Like a non-profit Amazon.com, ReCOLLEGE helps them quickly find exactly what they need, at a price they can afford, and delivers it immediately…only with human advisors, rather than products.
You don’t need to be a “big picture” leader: Most ReCOLLEGE instructors specialize in parts of the renewal process. Local recovery involves all: banker, planner, city council member, entrepreneur, Main Street manager, accountant, volunteer, ecologist, etc.
Regenerating urban, rural and natural places is a trillion-dollar global growth industry. But most professionals and local leaders are newcomers: they’ve never before applied their skills to downtown revitalization, watershed restoration, hurricane recovery, etc.
If you have helped improve some aspect of a place, or have been trained to do so, you have insights of value to those who haven’t. Why not get paid to share your stories, resources or techniques?
YOU JUST TALK.
(in any of 150+ languages: we provide instant voice-to-voice & voice-to-text translation)
WE DO THE REST VIA SIMPLE, AUTOMATED VIDEOCHAT, BOOKING, AND BILLING APPS.
1) After joining, you fill out our faculty questionnaire, describing the kinds of knowledge and experiences you wish to share, and your hourly rate.
2) You use our calendar app to select times you are available to counsel students. There’s no minimum or maximum amount of work required.
3) Students browse available Instructors, select one, use our calendar app to schedule a session on our videochat app, and pay up front.
4) In most cases, you won’t need to prepare a presentation: our students want your tap your insights, opinions, resources, contacts, etc.
5) You receive your earnings (minus bank fee + about 7% to support our non-profit work) direct to your checking or PayPal account after the student marks the session as satisfactorily completed.
ReCOLLEGE Faculty Membership Gives You Two Major Keys To Success: Awareness and Advantage.
No matter how skilled you are, you won't do the world much good if you're laboring in obscurity.
And, even if people know of you, you won't win much work if you don't have a distinct advantage over your competition.
THE WORLD'S REGENERATIVE TALENT
ReCOLLEGE is an arsenal of expertise to defend people and planet.
The ReCOLLEGE is like a non-profit “Amazon.com” of economic revitalization, nature restoration, disaster recovery, and resilience: every type of advisor public and private leaders need to accomplish a program, project or initiative, anywhere in the world.
The videochats you do with clients can, lead to much more substantial work for you or your organization. That’s between you and the client, of course: we don’t get involved.
$50/Hour? $500/Hour? Set Your Own Rate For Videochats.
Or offer free sessions, to promote your offerings.
There are 4 basic categories of ReCOLLEGE Instructors:
Informal Advisors: Government officials, foundation / non-profit employees, academics, retirees, and local volunteers with relevant experience (sustainability, social impact, urban innovation, etc.) to share, thus supplementing their income.
Professional Service Providers: Architecture, green infrastructure, transportation, engineering, planning, funding, financing, legal, policy, community engagement, project management, grant writing, renewable energy, etc.
Product Suppliers: Project designers need advice on specifying physical products, from heritage doorknobs for historic building restoration, to native seedlings for reforestation, to microbes and equipment for cleaning contaminated land.
Charitable Advisors: Volunteers providing free guidance as a public service.

4) Boost your revitalization expertise & income by getting certified as a RISING PLACES Facilitator. Help communities get accredited as RISING PLACE, which helps attract funding and developers. As a ReCOLLEGE Instructor, you get a 50% discount on enrollment.
WHO SHOULD JOIN? You, if you have training, education, experience, or services that could help places grow health, wealth, housing, safety and/or unity, such as project funding/financing/legal experts, governance, business/non-profit/foundation management, academics, etc.

BUT, our tiny override on your videochat revenue is enough to offset our ongoing expenses, so we don’t need to charge you an annual membership fee. The more you make, the more we make, so everyone’s happy.
ReCOLLEGE is a not-for-profit advisory network, not an accredited, degree-granting educational institution.
TODAY'S PERFECT STORM OF REGENERATIVE OPPORTUNITY
For almost a decade, our journal, REVITALIZATION, has been read by millions of public leaders and regenerative practitioners worldwide, recently surpassing 10,000 articles in over 200 issues.
During that same time, RECONOMICS Institute has trained and certified many of those same people to improve the process of renewing places.
With the world awash in worsening catastrophes, our largest initiative, RISING PLACES, will soon launch after two years of research and development. Users of these essential new tools will seek expert guidance for their local projects.
Now, in collaboration with a major professional association for public leaders, a major university, and a major international NGO, all of these resources are being tapped to create the ReCOLLEGE. This will solve several obstacles to the resilient redevelopment of the world’s cities and the resilient restoration of its natural resources, such as professional, institutional, and funding silos.
Finally, all forms of regenerative experts will be quickly and easily available via videochat to help fund, design, plan, implement, and communicate efforts to renew every aspect of a place: social, ecological, economic, infrastructure, heritage, agricultural, brownfields…plus disaster recovery and resilience. There’s never been a more perfect time for the ReCOLLEGE.
WHY DOES THE WORLD NEED THE ReCOLLEGE NOW?
There are myriad professional certifications, academic courses, webinars, conferences, newsletters, etc. on various aspects of improving places or helping them recover. But it’s well-documented that the average retention rate for such learning is under 10%. When a local mayor, redeveloper, Chamber of Commerce, neighborhood group or government agency is faced with their first recovery challenge—disaster, economic. social, environmental, etc.—they need guidance NOW from someone with relevant training or experience. And that is often not available locally.
WHY JOIN THE ReCOLLEGE Faculty?

- FOLLOW-UP WORK: Your videochat clients might occasionally ask you to do (paid) follow-up work, such as reviewing plans;
- REMOTE OR TRAVEL: If you wish, some work could require travel to exotic (or boring) places, but most can be done remotely.

- NEW FRIENDS: Enjoy meeting and networking with like-minded folks who share your passions;
- IMPACT: RECONOMICS Institute experts are occasionally asked to speak at hearings conducted by members of the U.S. Congress, as well as at meetings conducted by the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, etc. These are not paid engagements, but we will invite you to join us when you have a needed expertise or point of view.
