Community Partnerships: Creating Opportunities and Positive Change
One fundamental way The Preserve supports the community is by partnering with local organizations dedicated to education, inclusivity, and conservation. These partnerships allow us to contribute to important causes and support initiatives that benefit people from all walks of life.
Chariho Transition Academy: Empowering Individuals with Diverse Abilities
One of our most cherished partnerships is with the Chariho Transition Academy, a program designed to empower individuals with diverse abilities by providing meaningful educational and work experiences. Through this partnership, The Preserve offers a supportive environment where participants can build skills, gain confidence, and work toward greater independence.
Our team has been thrilled to welcome Mimi, Riley, and Joseph from the Chariho Transition Academy as valued members of The Preserve family. Their presence has enriched our workplace, and their contributions have been invaluable. We look forward to seeing their smiles every week, and their hard work reminds us of the importance of creating inclusive opportunities for everyone.
"Mimi, Riley, and Joseph have become part of our team at The Preserve. Their smiles say it all each time they are here; their contribution has been tremendous. We look forward to seeing them each week."— B. Joe Reddish III, Director of Administration and Community Engagement.
This partnership with Chariho Transition Academy reflects our dedication to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. By offering educational experiences and mentorship, we're helping participants reach their full potential while adding a layer of diversity and joy to our team.

Supporting Conservation Efforts: Protecting Rhode Island's Natural Beauty
As stewards of over 3,500 acres of pristine Rhode Island land, we understand the importance of protecting the environment. Our commitment to conservation is woven into everything we do, and we actively support initiatives that preserve the region's natural beauty for future generations.
One such effort is our work with the Pawtuxet River Watershed. Connected to this vital watershed, The Preserve supports sustainable land management practices, water conservation, and habitat preservation. By maintaining the health of our surrounding ecosystems, we contribute to the community's broader environmental goals.
In addition to our conservation efforts, The Preserve partners with local environmental organizations to support cleanup events, educational programs, and sustainability initiatives. Through these actions, we aim to lead by example, encouraging our guests, staff, and community members to appreciate and protect our natural resources.

Charitable Events and Local Support: Making a Positive Impact
At The Preserve, supporting local causes, charities, and events means giving back to the community. Throughout the year, we host and participate in charitable events designed to give back to the community and impact the lives of those in need.
Charity Golf Tournaments
With its renowned golf course, The Preserve is an ideal setting for charity golf tournaments that raise funds for important causes. We host these events by collaborating with local charities and bringing together community members, golf enthusiasts, and donors for fun and philanthropy. These tournaments allow us to raise money for nonprofits while offering an enjoyable experience celebrating community spirit.
Holiday Food and Toy Drives
The holiday season is a time of giving, and at The Preserve, we're proud to host annual food and toy drives that support local families in need. By collecting donations from our guests, staff, and partners, we can provide essentials to those facing challenging times. These drives remind us of the power of coming together to support others, and we're grateful for the generosity of everyone who contributes.
Fundraising Events
Throughout the year, we participate in fundraising events that support various causes, from environmental conservation to healthcare initiatives. These events allow The Preserve to connect with the broader community, raise awareness, and generate funds for local organizations making a difference.
Educational Initiatives: Inspiring Future Generations
Education is a powerful tool for creating positive change, and The Preserve is committed to supporting educational initiatives that empower the next generation. By working with schools, nonprofits, and educational programs, we aim to provide young people with opportunities to learn about the environment, develop new skills, and discover the importance of community service.
One example is our nature education programs, which allow local students to explore The Preserve's natural beauty. Through guided hikes, wildlife observation, and interactive learning sessions, students gain a deeper appreciation for the environment and learn about the importance of conservation. These programs are significant for students needing more regular access to green spaces, offering them a hands-on experience that fosters a love for nature.
Additionally, our internship and mentorship programs allow students and young professionals to gain valuable experience in hospitality, environmental science, and event management. By providing mentorship and real-world learning opportunities, we're helping prepare the next generation of leaders to contribute positively to their communities.
