Organization Description
ABOUT: Vermont Afterschool (VTA) is a statewide nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that the children and youth in every Vermont community are able to benefit from the power of afterschool, summer learning, and third space programs during the out-of-school time hours.
The HOW: Through a targeted 3-pronged approach—strengthening afterschool and summer learning programs through professional development; advocating at the state and national level for expanded access to these programs; and utilizing proven as well as innovative ways to empower Vermont’s youth—VTA is transforming Vermont’s communities to ensure all young Vermonters are active, engaged, connected, and heard.
We believe a board that reflects the diversity of Vermont’s communities and professional sectors will help us better advance opportunities for children, youth, and families across the state.
VTA is seeking board candidates who bring diverse perspectives and lived experiences to our work. We strongly encourage applicants who:
- Represent multiple generations, including Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and emerging leaders.
- Live or work in communities across Vermont, particularly outside Chittenden County.
- Bring expertise in areas that strengthen our organizational capacity, including marketing, sales, private-sector leadership, human resources, philanthropy, and the lived experience of afterschool participants and their families.Organization's Approach to Diversity, Equity, Belonging, & Inclusion
Because YOUNG PEOPLE MAKE VERMONT BETTER. This core tenet of our mission reflects our belief that Vermont and its communities are at their strongest when all voices—inclusive of every dimension of diversity, and most especially the voices of youth—are nourished, uplifted, and empowered. In service to these values of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, our staff and board have pledged a continuous commitment of our collective time and resources to challenging the systems, services, and policies—both internally and throughout the third-space realm— that have created inequitable, oppressive, and disparate opportunities for historically marginalized communities.
