Rural Empowerment
Our mission is to create and improve economic opportunities for underserved rural communities in the US, through targeted training programs that provide the skills for 21st century jobs.
About Us
Rural Empowerment was founded with the purpose of giving back to rural communities across the US. We achieve our goal by expanding economic opportunity and giving people the tools they need to succeed.
“Rural Empowerment is a new kind of nonprofit organization. Their singular focus on rural economic development and job creation is backed by extensive knowledge, innovation, experience, and funding that has been tested and proven here and abroad.”
Our Approach
Rural Empowerment works with community groups and local institutions to deliver targeted training programs that provide skill training for 21st century jobs. Training content varies based on the location and needs of the community, and local industry requirements.
Economic Opportunity
We are committed to increasing economic opportunity in rural communities in the US, and widening access to well-paying jobs.
Community Focus
We foster strong relationships with communities, local institutions and industry leaders to meet aspirations and explore the full potential of local talent.
