About RuralMind

Empowering Rural Communities in the Age of AI

RuralMind is a nonprofit consultancy dedicated to helping rural communities thrive in the digital economy. Founded by a veteran rural educator, we operate at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), career and technical education (CTE), and economic development.

Our Mission

We believe that rural schools are not behind—they've been under-supported. With the right tools, training, and vision, they can become launchpads for equitable, tech-powered growth.

What We Do

• AI Integration in CTE: We integrate AI into CTE programs aligned with regional industry needs.

• Scalable Classroom Models: We pilot scalable models in real classrooms, focusing on high-need rural districts.

• Educator Capacity Building: We build educator capacity through co-designed professional learning.

• Place-Based Storytelling: We strengthen rural identity by connecting innovation to place-based storytelling.

Our Impact

RuralMind exists to transform rural education and workforce development. By partnering with funders and communities, we unlock a future where every rural learner thrives in the digital economy.
