Urban Appalachian Council

The Urban Appalachian Community Coalition (UACC) is an alliance of individuals and organizations dedicated to the well-being of Appalachian people, communities, and cultural expression in the greater Cincinnati area. With a history dating back to 1964, UACC provides a platform for urban Appalachians to build mutual support, raise awareness of their contributions, and address common concerns through advocacy and action.

UACC embraces diversity and actively works for justice and cultural awareness in Cincinnati neighborhoods and beyond. Their mission and programs prioritize intergenerational and cross-cultural exchanges, practical resources, creative expression, and story-listening as transformative community assets. With a commitment to combating racism and oppressive behaviors, UACC celebrates the adaptive spirit of Appalachian culture and the region's diverse migration and storytelling traditions.
