ENGAGE VIRTUALLY

While we certainly love having visitors, we know not everyone can visit the Darst Center in person on a regular basis. We greatly appreciate having people engage with us virtually.  You can check us out on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  We welcome you to engage in dialog on our posts, keeping in mind our Brave Space Agreements.  We also invite you to read our blog and sign up for our newsletter, Burning Issues.  Engaging with us virtually helps us the Darst Center's reach more people and spread our mission.  We look forward to "seeing" you on the web!

MAKE A GIFT

The Darst Center relies on generous support of donors like you.  If you believe in our mission of social justice education, please consider making a one-time donation to support this important work.  As one donor recently said, "The Darst Center's mission of opening hearts is wholly unique. By supporting the Darst Center I am, in turn, supporting all of their partner agencies--broadening and spreading out my gift to make the greatest impact to do the most good."  Thank you for your generosity.
