Our central office in Cornwall-on-Hudson (Hudson River)—known as “the Grail”—is home to the Youth Arts Group, Know Your Rights Workshop Series, our summer college internship program, and seminarian fellowships and cohorts, as well providing meeting and retreat space to our various programs around New York State.
Located in Cornwall-on-Hudson, the Grail is both home to RMM’s Hudson River region work, our central offices, as well as a retreat center for the organization. The Grail is home to the Youth Arts Group, the Rural Academy of the People, as well as our summer college internship program, and seminarian fellowships
Located on 40 acres next to Storm King Mountain and near the Hudson River, the Grail is an inspiring setting to gather for reflection and strategizing. Throughout the year members of RMM’s programs and others gather for retreats at the Grail. It is a critical venue for building powerful state-wide networks. In addition, to RMM’s people gathering, we are pleased to make our space available to sister groups. If you want to utilize our facilities in Cornwall On Hudson for a day apart or a retreat, get in touch with Sakima McClinton for availability and rates.

Programs
RMM brings together faith leaders, both ordained and lay people, to explore the removal of walls that divide us as we work toward social transformation. The Cohorts, both in person and virtual, depend upon the participants sharing their experiences with one another.
RMM is partnering with Trabajadores Agricolas Unidos (TAU), an effort sponsored by UFCW and RWDSU to implement the Farm Laborers Fair Labor Practices Act.
Each year, we welcome artists in residence, as we are intent on incorporating the arts into all of our programs and our centers.
RMM is honored to host the annual Rural Women’s Assembly, which welcomes more than 200 rural women and their allies from across New York.
RMM offers regular opportunities for ally groups to visit our Centers, meet with our people and explore our programs.
RMM works hard to support the dreams and opportunities of the members of the Youth Empowerment Program through two scholarship programs.
The Youth Arts Group (YAG) is a program for young people in the Hudson Valley that uses the arts to bring about change.
For more than 30 years, RMM has welcomed children, ages 8-17, from across rural New York to a one-week overnight camp. Along with our Summer Day Programs, young leaders get to meet RMM, and we get to meet them.
Through the Rural Academy of the People (RAP), RMM offers a variety of adult education programs through our Centers and online that are initiated and designed by rural, grass-roots leaders. A key focus lies in supporting people as they create their own cooperatives.
