## Rooted in local rural leadership

Partners for Rural Impact works across rural America, from Appalachian Kentucky to Yakima Valley, through the Nebraska heartland. Wherever there is need, we work alongside local leaders and allies to build the partnerships and investments that create lasting opportunities for rural young people.

## Partnering across the country

From small towns to regional hubs, we partner with rural communities across America to turn ideas into action. We provide the support, resources, and connections communities need to help young people thrive.

## From Appalachian Kentucky to a national movement

Our roots run deep in Appalachian Kentucky, where a single school district program grew to support college access across the region and eventually became a place-based partnership committed to economic mobility. More than 30 years later, that work has supported over 110,000 young people to make progress, cradle to career.
