An Arts program at the Boys and Girls Club of Vergennes

Increase developmental asset levels among youth by providing them with asset-building programming, including peer on peer mentoring, teambuilding, service learning, leadership training and creative activities.

Although the Covid-19 pandemic has kept Cabot's youth out of the library, they will return in the coming year. With disproportionate numbers of trauma-impacted youth, the Library is a key partner in engaging youth in program activities to help them recover from isolation and re-engage with their community and extra-curricular connections. The Cabot Public Library will serve as a Base Camp of sorts—a place for after school crafts, science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) activities, game clubs, book discussions and outdoor adventures, from which middle school children and teens can gain skills before their challenging climb to adulthood. VCTF resources will help to stabilize and grow accessible and equitable Library programing.

An afterschool program at the Bethal elementary school.

The mission of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Vergennes is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. We invite all young people in grades 4 through 12 to come to the club. They are welcomed by caring and competent staff and volunteers. We are seeking to expand our program to include 5th and 6th graders from the Ferrisburgh Central School (FCS). Transportation would be provided Monday - Friday to bring the students to the club in Vergennes. Once there, the children would become BGC members and join our after-school programs. We offer dinner each day, homework assistance, recreation, arts and STEM enrichment activities based on monthly themes.
