Embracing Vermont Initiative

The Embracing Vermont Initiative, led by the Vermont Village Community Development Corporation (VVCDC), is a transformative, multi-year community-driven initiative aimed at advancing economic opportunity, workforce development, housing, and community revitalization along the Vermont Corridor. This initiative, which is designed to maximize partnerships with like-visioned organizations in the region, seeks to align with the Weingart Foundation, ensuring long-term, measurable impact through cross-sector collaboration.

VVCDC is committed to delivering sustainable, community-driven change and are eager to formalize a partnership with the Weingart Foundation. Our goal is to avoid duplicating existing services, leverage current efforts, and ensure that local residents directly benefit from public and private investments.
