The REC Student Handbook provides an extensive introduction to responsible investment—and the best part is, you don’t need a Ph.D in economics to learn everything you need to know about organizing your campus! Please contact us as you dive into this resource—we can help point you to the sections that will be most helpful to you!

Our community investment toolkit for students, Move Our Money: A Community Investment Toolkit for Students provides a brief introduction to community investment and all you need to run a Move Our Money campaign for community investment on your campus. Please contact us for more help with your campaign.

Our community investment handbook, Maximizing Returns to Colleges and Communities: A Handbook on Community Investment is our community investment handbook for administrators, but can be helpful for students and others too. It outlines the steps a school can take to support low income housing, small businesses and other community projects through profitable investments.

Our administrator and trustee handbook, Integrating Environmental, Social and Governance Issues Into Institutional Investment: A Handbook for Colleges and Universities, published in partnership with Amnesty International,  is a great resource to hand to your school’s treasurer, president or investment committee so they can see the financial and reputational benefits to starting a responsible investment program.

The STARS Sustainable Investment Guide is a brief handbook for schools working to fill out the AASHE STARS rating system's investment section that is to be used with the STARS Sustainable Investment Guide Worksheet (excel), which is a tool for helping to fill out the section.
