Partner Organizations to Help with the Book’s Themes

Boy on We Contain Multitudes cover
Vermont Reads

We Contain Multitudes is a book that definitely contains multitudes. It is about love, friendship, survival, loss, grief, bullying, family/domestic violence, a veteran’s PTSD, and a growing relationship between two boys. For some participants, these multitudes may be challenging.

Vermont Humanities has partnered with three Vermont organizations to help you navigate the themes of the book in your community. Vermont Reads project hosts can receive one free presentation from one of these organizations:

Outright Vermont

Recovery Vermont
(802) 223-6263

The Vermont Network Against Domestic and Sexual Violence
