Laraway recently received a generous grant from the Green Mountain Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation. This fund, over the years, has made grants for recreational items and experiences for the children and youth we serve.
Staff members shared some of the ways the Green Mountain Fund makes a difference in our work:
"Field trips to the Fairbanks Museum, Green Mountain Audubon Center, and Burlington City Arts provided our students the opportunity to engage in learning activities in the community that celebrate local Vermont culture and history." Julie Landry, Laraway School Director
"Benefits of planned group events include team-building, enhanced peer relationships, incentives for positive choices and exposure to new experiences. This is beneficial for all children. This is particularly beneficial for youth in foster care." Morgain Raleigh, Activities Coordinator
We remain grateful to the Green Mountain Fund for their generosity!
