Urban Appalachian Council information


The Urban Appalachian Council (UAC) is an organization that works for a decent quality of life for Appalachian migrants and their descendants in the Greater Cincinnati area, and to concentrate on and serve as a fellowship of those acting upon their issues and concerns.[1] The UAC strives to promote positive images of urban Appalachian people and their heritage and to dispel negative stereotypes. The council's goals are the empowerment of individuals within urban Appalachian communities in order to strengthen families, develop resources within communities, and reform the systems that impact their lives.[2]
