Vermont Humanities sponsors innovative programs for students to further engage young people in their own learning. Whether it’s through intensive summer camps, residencies, after-school programs, or creative classroom programming, these free programs help expand traditional ideas about academics, school, and learning in general.
With funding support from Vermont Humanities, educators around the state develop immersive, collaborative, project-based Humanities Camps that directly meet the needs of young people in their communities. The camps offer non-traditional ways to engage with the humanities as a broad and always-expanding discipline.
This statewide, one-book community reading program offers opportunities for readers of all abilities.
Our seasonal “Words in the Woods” program allows Vermonters and visitors to enjoy our state’s natural beauty while listening to and reading literature in the outdoors.
Humanities Camps are filled with reading and writing projects, field trips, and outdoor activities.
We won a 2020 Schwartz Prize for best public humanities programming in the U.S. for Vermont Reads 2019: “March: Book One.”
We supported the Chandler Center for the Arts’ Global Connections Youth Outreach program, which highlights artists from around the world.
Our free public events help bring the power of the humanities to communities across Vermont.
