Business and community development

Vital Vermont communities start with you. Declining levels of voter participation along with decreasing interest in volunteer activities and community groups challenge the state of Vermont. As a result, University of Vermont Extension has made the following a focus:

Mobilizing community more effectively; creating an understanding of and solutions to community problems; engaging community members to become more involved in implementing or enhancing decision-making skills that will improve quality of life.
