Vermont Civics Collaborative
Vermont Humanities took part in the nationwide “Why it Matters: Civics and Electoral Participation” initiative sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Federation for State Humanities Councils.
After a year in which citizen engagement has never been more important, this national project brought some of the best thinkers, activists, and organizers on these issues to forefront across the nation, and in Vermont.
Eight Vermont partners organized events for “Why it Matters” under the banner of the Vermont Civics Collaborative.
