“I will never forget all that I received from RMM and thank you especially for teaching me the importance of empowerment and giving people choices.”--Chakera McIntosh

Since 1981 Rural & Migrant Ministry, a statewide, non-profit organization, has served the rural and migrant communities throughout New York. Here is our Mission Statement:

Rural & Migrant Ministry works for the creation of a just rural New York State through:
  • Nurturing leadership
  • Standing with the disenfranchised, especially farmworkers and rural workers
  • Changing unjust systems and structures

RMM implements its mission through three program areas:

  • ACCOMPANIMENT - RMM supports and stands with farmworkers as they seek to improve their living and working conditions in New York.
  • EDUCATION - RMM raises leadership skills and awareness of opportunities and issues.
  • YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM - RMM works with rural, migrant and immigrant youth.

We are located throughout New York with offices in Dutchess, Sullivan, Monroe, Wayne, Albany and Tompkins counties.
