Mission

Rural & Migrant Ministry works for the creation of a just, rural New York State through nurturing leadership, changing unjust systems and structures, and standing with the disenfranchised, especially farmworkers and rural workers.

Our work

We put our mission into action through three main program areas: Accompaniment, Popular Education, and Youth Empowerment.

Accompaniment

We believe that those who courageously fight for justice need others to accompany them in their quest. Through programs that speak truth to power and build up bases of power, RMM works for systemic change in rural New York.

Popular Education

Popular Education invites people to collectively learn from one another. Our Rural Academy of the People offers participatory educational programs as rural leaders develop their understandings and skills to work for systemic change

Youth Empowerment

Young powerful leaders, who are committed to justice and inclusivity, are essential to the well-being of our rural communities. We offer a federation of creative programs that have a proven track record of identifying and nurturing new generations of leaders.

Our Centers

RMM operates four farmworker education centers around New York State in Western New York, Long Island, the Catskills and the Hudson Valley.
