Our Goals
The Urban Appalachian Council (UAC) is a non-profit, social service organization that provides direct and advocacy services in communities of Cincinnati most heavily populated by Urban Appalachians.
The Urban Appalachian Council was incorporated in 1974 to “promote a decent quality of life for Appalachian people of Greater Cincinnati.”
UAC has four main directional goals: Empowering Individuals, Strengthening Families, Developing Communities, Reforming Systems. Each of these goals is reflected in the programs and service work provided by UAC. UAC‘s programs provide building blocks for success. These building blocks start with individuals and, like strong Appalachian traditions, are passed on to families and the broader community.
UAC‘s programs focus on education, leadership development, family and human services, cultural celebration and access to employment and training.
Our Mission
The MISSION of the Urban Appalachian Council is to improve the quality of life of Appalachians and their neighbors in the Greater Cincinnati community.
