Learning how to interact with municipal government can increase civic engagement and quality of life in Vermont. This project seeks to develop and provide materials that citizens can use to take part in their local governments. A series of Citizen's Guides to Local Government from the Vermont Institute for Government and UVM Extension are provided online at http://crs.uvm.edu/citizens. Efforts are onoing to develop a Civic Leadership Education curriculum. Vermonters can use these materials and resources to engage in the municipal government activities that affect their everyday lives. (F. Schmidt, W. Sawyer, M. Peabody) Project members: Schmidt
