What is Prout?

The Progressive Utilization Theory (Prout) envisions a society where resources are shared equitably, the environment is protected and a high quality of life is guaranteed for everyone.

Recent Prout Perspectives

These days there is a big transition to worker-owned businesses, because the baby boomer business owners are all retiring. It’s called “the silver tsunami.” It’s about creating a secession plan, and empowering the workers. So this is something we’ve been able to work with.

Prout philosophy is aimed at the transformation of societies to become more just, more ethical, more sustainable, and more supportive of human development and spirituality. Neohumanist Education is aimed at the cultivation of the character, knowledge and social commitment necessary to these transformations.

Campaign for the Prout Research Institute

The Prout Research Institute is raising funds to complete construction of a 2,500 sq. ft building in Marshall, North Carolina, 30 minutes drive from Asheville. The building will enable research into the practical applications of Prout, and be a hub for staff and interns to live and work together. Located on the Neohumanist College of Asheville campus, it will also serve as the headquarters for Prout Alliance. Join us today!
