Want to know how to make things happen in your town? Want to be more involved in your community? Are you already involved but want to know more about how things work?
SoVT Get On Board will give you practical skills to become an effective and active participant in the civic life of your Southern VT community. Gain big-picture knowledge to inspire and inform, and most importantly, find connections to support you.
The course will be led by statewide and local experts with the region-specific knowledge and experience to help you turn ideas into action.

If you are able to attend one, some (but not all 4) sessions, please feel free to apply, and let us know in the application which sessions you can attend. If there’s space we are happy to have you, and we’ll pro-rate the tuition.
