Sponsor a Democracy Workshop!

"This is What Democracy Looks Like" is a workshop for anyone who wants to be effective in the Vermont Statehouse.

At the Democracy Workshop participants will learn how the Vermont Legislature operates. They will be taught how to navigate and track the legislative process, learn the jargon and lingo of the statehouse, the locations of policy makers and methods in approaching or testifying to their legislators. In addition each participant will receive an information booklet filled with further tips on becoming their own self-advocate in the democratic process. It is NOT issue focused, but rather process focused, so whatever your issues, the information will be useful.

Your group can sponsor one of these workshops. Contact Rural Vermont at 223-7222 or amy@ruralvermont.org to schedule a workshop. We ask for a $5 suggested donation per participant to cover the cost of materials - however, nobody will ever be turned away for lack of funds.

This workshop is offered by Rural Vermont and the Vermont Alliance of Conservation Voters.
