Meet our founders!
Hatcher Skelding
Hi! My name is Hatcher Skelding, and I am the Co-Founder of Rural Education Project! I am from West Virgina where I have lived my whole life. I have over eighty hours of volunteering experience, including mission trips, food lockers, and more! I am the current 2026 State Champion of HOSA Medical Law and Ethics and have been a competitive dancer for over eight years. I am so excited to work on benefiting and bettering rural educational programs and systems, as well as spreading information and awareness. As a rural student myself, I know first-hand how hard it is to get resources, help, and experience. I love to learn, read, write, and take cute pictures with my friends!
Aiko Ng
Hello! My name is Aiko Ng and I am the Co-Founder of the Rural Education Project! I’ve had a lot of experience on social media, and aim to represent this project to millions! Coming from WV, I feel the weight of this organization’s cause, and am wholeheartedly willing to put my all into this. I’ve had a lot of community experiences with helping out with events in Charleston, local shops, and through my position as President for my school. Outside of work, I’m a very approachable and driven person who loves to compete, exercise, and explore my curiosities!
