Vermonters across the state know that local action makes our communities vibrant. But local action often needs support from regional, state and even federal scales to achieve goals for prosperity. To respond to this need in Vermont, the Vermont Council on Rural Development is refocusing and revitalizing our Community Visit Program to help citizen leaders access the resources they need to build capacity for their communities as they look to the future.

Our Community Visit program is a way for towns to engage and bring together their residents, set common goals and directions in a neutral and facilitated structure, and access resources that will help them take action on those goals. The Community Visit program is provided at no cost to communities and gets citizens engaged in working for their communities.
