Community is built on partnerships.
As a trusted, neutral facilitator, United Way is often called upon to convene and facilitate community conversations with diverse stakeholders to find solutions to urgent and complex problems. This often results in action groups, new initiatives and long-term systems change efforts. We understand that community is built on partnerships and long-term change requires all of us working together. Our current special initiatives include:
Prevention Initiative
United Way of Northwest Vermont’s Prevention Initiative strengthens communities by supporting a network of regional partners that connect Vermonters of all ages to the resources, support systems, and relationships that promote well-being and help prevent substance misuse.
Mental Health Initiative
United Way’s Mental Health Initiative was a multi-year (2021-2025) collective impact project that leveraged the participation of 200+ community members working together to improve timely access to appropriate mental health services.
