Task forces create action plans and work with a Resource Team to identify next steps.
On Community Visit Day, community members come together to discuss assets, challenges, and ideas for their future. Discussion topics include: Schools & Childcare; Businesses & Jobs; Community & Recreation; and Housing & Affordability. These topics were chosen at a Planning Meeting by local leaders. A listening team of federal, state, business, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders will join the forums and dinner to listen in.
This event includes a free community dinner, and childcare at the Library during the forums. Need a ride - call Bette Parsons, 802-896-6202. Accommodations and ASL interpretation available, contact Alyssa at alyssa@vtrural.org or call/text 802-222-6896 to request.

On Community Meeting Day, community members come together to review, discuss, and vote to prioritize ideas for action shared in the first forums. Through dot-voting, participants whittle down a list of action ideas to a few priorities and then sign up to join local task forces that moves those priorities forward.
This session includes a free dinner and childcare during the forum. Need a ride? Call 802-222-6896 or email alyssa@vtrural.org. Interpretation or accessibility accommodations are available, contact Alyssa at alyssa@vtrural.org or 802-222-6896. Find the Facebook Event here.
On Community Resource Day, community members come together for the final step in the process. New task force groups build action plans, set the scope of their work, and meet with a visiting team of resource providers and experts to identify available resources and funding opportunities. From here forward, all action is focused at the local task force level. You can sign up to join a Task Force now, or choose one to join at the meeting!
