The Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the locally-defined progress of Vermont's rural communities. Through initiatives like the Climate Economy Initiative and the Working Communities Challenge, VCRD helps communities and leaders implement actions that enhance economic vitality and sustainability in the face of climate change.
VCRD facilitates community visits, policy councils, and annual summits to engage Vermonters in cooperative goal-setting and skill-building around key rural priorities. By connecting and supporting local leaders through the Vermont Community Leadership Network, VCRD empowers individuals to create positive change in their communities and address urgent long-term needs.
