Spiritual & Religious Communities
UVM's Interfaith Center maintains a thoughtful listing of spiritual and religious communities based on proximity to Burlington or the recommendation of a UVM community member. This list also includes information about LGBTQ+ affirming and majority Black, Indigenous and People of Color spaces.
