Your RSA partners with higher education and helps run the National Rural Education Association and its advocacy arm, the NRE Advocacy Consortium.
We also help lead rural-focused, dynamic coalitions like the ones supporting the Farm to School program and Community Schools efforts. We work to gather the most insightful, relevant, and helpful information for members.
If there’s a new idea, a promising practice, or a new approach to intractable problems, we’ll make sure you know ASAP.
