We uphold the following values as foundational to our work and the success of the communities we serve.
NC Rural Center's programs, in NC Rural Center's own words.

The Rural Economic Development Institute (REDI), our flagship leadership program, has trained over 1,250 rural leaders to make meaningful impact in their communities.

Our Homegrown Leaders training offers a three-day regional leadership and community economic development program to equip leaders to lead long-term economic growth.

The Collaborative Broadband Initiative (CBI) serves as a regional initiative that partners with local governments, Councils of Government (COGs), key stakeholders and internet service providers (ISPs) to expand high-speed internet access across rural North Carolina.
