It is comprised of meeting spaces, a large professional kitchen, dormitories, a bookstore, a library, an art gallery, a swimming pool, and rental units. DRBI is a charitable, not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that is inspired by the peaceful and unifying teachings of the Bahá’í Faith.

- Program and events coordination
- Landscaping
- Marketing assistance
- Agricultural program assistance
- Radio station administration
- General administration
