Partners for Rural America
 

Partners for Rural Ameria (PRA) was founded in 1998 to support the efforts of its member State Rural Development Councils (SRDCs), which are uniquely positioned to expand economic and social opportunities for America's rural communities and their residents, promote equal treatment of rural America by government agencies and the private sector and provide a collective voice for rural America.

 

SRDCs across the country work in their states to conduct research, work with state and federal government officials, partner with other community and economic development organizations and serve as leaders representing the perspective and needs of rural communities throughout their states.  

 

Issues vary from state to state, but most SRDCs work to improve community and economic development, education, workforce training, infrastructure development and access to broadband, transportation and quality healthcare, to name a few of their areas of focus.  These organizations work on the ground in the communities as well as with local, state and federal government leaders to promote the assets and opportunities in rural America.
