New Rural Project (NRP) is a non-partisan 501(c)(4) organization that engages young (18-40 years old) and historically marginalized residents in rural communities to amplify their voices through increased civic and electoral engagement. NRP works to eliminate barriers to engagement by listening to rural stakeholders and working together to develop community-driven solutions. NRP was co-founded by Cynthia Wallace and Helen Probst Mills in 2021. Both ran for office in rural North Carolina and saw that large numbers of registered and unregistered voters in rural communities simply did not vote.
