VCRD programs bring us into the heart of communities across Vermont, where we listen to concerns, provide strategic planning assistance, and support rural communities as they identify challenges and implement solutions. Our programming is dynamic and responsive to the needs of rural Vermonters. Current initiatives include our signature Community Visit Program, e-Vermont, and the Working Landscape Partnership. All of our program areas respect Vermont culture, foster local leadership, and strive to develop rural capacity.
