SerVermont - Common Good Vermont VISTA

United Way of Northwest Vermont's mission is to build a stronger Northwest Vermont by mobilizing our community to improve people's lives. We bring together individuals, nonprofits, businesses and government entities to fight for a strong, vibrant and healthy community. Our impact is driven by five key strategies: Promoting Mental Health, Supporting Families, Meeting Basic Needs, Reducing Substance Use Disorder, and Advancing Employment. To alleviate poverty, we fund 30 community nonprofits, with 66% addressing housing, food, and transportation and 43% supporting financial stability. Last year, these organizations served over 57,000 people. Our Working Bridges program helps low- to moderate-wage workers access critical resources, supporting 1,174 Vermonters at 18 workplaces in maintaining stability and advancing economically. The Common Good Vermont program (CGVT) at United Way of Northwest Vermont plays a crucial role in supporting Vermont¿s nonprofit sector statewide. Common Good Vermont serves as the go-to resource for all of Vermont¿s nonprofit sector and mission-driven professionals to share resources, gain skills, and build partnerships. We support organizations with a wide range of program activities, including AmeriCorps VISTA Priority Areas of economic opportunity, healthy futures, & environmental stewardship.
