Vermont Civic Health Index: Community Conversations

Join the Secretary of State, Sarah Copeland Hanzas, partners who contributed to the report, and your neighbors to learn about what Civic Health looks like across Vermont and in your community. Please come ready to participate! We will be asking for your feedback and help prioritizing next steps.

This report looks at Vermont’s Civic Health across six domains: Volunteerism and Donating, Political Engagement, Social and Community Context, Cultural Access and Engagement, Media Trust and Access, and Government Trust and Access. It also highlights results from the Vermont Youth Civic Health Survey. This project has been two years coming and involved a lot of hard work and support from many partners, especially the Center for Rural Studies at UVM, SerVermont, Vermont Humanities, and Up for Learning. 

We’ll spend some time highlighting the findings and discussing our process, have a panel discussion, and then move into some small group discussions.

There are four additional events scheduled:

January 15 – Brooks Memorial Library, 5:30-7:30
February 5 – St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, 5:30-7:30
February 13 – Aldrich Public Library in Barre, 5:30-7:30
February 26 – Rutland Free Library, 5:30-7:30.
