SoVT Get on Board
Schedule and Cost
4 Saturday Sessions
(9/20, 10/4, 10/25, and 11/8; 10am - 3pm)
Four in-person classes will give you the chance to explore towns all over Southern Vermont! We’ll enjoy food from local restaurants, try to match the session topic to the location (so you can see the results of a community-led process, or meet in a town's Select Board Room, for example) and provide some options for local interest/recreation at each class location so you can make a day of it if you wish.
All participants will also be asked attend one municipal meeting in their town, based on their schedule and interests.
There will be light homework (30 min before each in-person session). For each class, we’ll also provide you with resources for optional further exploration depending on your interest – including multiple formats for the most flexibility: from online articles to podcasts and audio and print books.
Cost: $200
We are committed to making the class available to anyone who wishes to attend. We can help you get sponsorship from a business or your town, or provide you with a scholarship on request (no paperwork required). We can also help cover childcare or transportation costs for participants, thanks to our partners. Please indicate when you apply what assistance you may be interested in.
Applications accepted on a rolling basis until September 15, 2025.
