Nestled in the foothills of Appalachian Ohio, Rural Action was founded in 1991 on the principle that locally-based, sustainable, and inclusive development is the main strategy for building resilient rural Appalachian communities. Rural Action’s mission is to build a more just economy by developing the region’s assets in environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable ways. We do this work by focusing on sectors identified as important by our members: food and agriculture, forestry, zero waste and recycling, environmental education, watershed restoration, and energy. Emerging work in social enterprise development and local tourism are more recent parts of our portfolio.

Our core work centers on:

Helping small communities do big things
Growing local businesses and jobs
Restoring our environment
Cultivating the next generation of leaders

We envision a region with clean streams and healthy forests, a place where thriving family farms, meaningful livelihoods, and vibrant communities exist for everyone, with people engaged as good stewards of the world they live in and working together to make the vision a reality.
