School Program
The School Program mission is to engage students in a work based learning experience that inspires them to take responsibility for their own learning and serves the community needs.
Students from five Vermont high schools currently take part in this program that brings together small groups of students with high-quality professional leaders to complete community-based projects rooted in the landscape and traditions of Vermont while simultaneously immersed in a dynamic curriculum that ties the projects to learning.
Partnerships with Mount Mansfield Union High School, Lamoille Union High School, Champlain Valley Union High School, Woodstock Union High School, the Center for Technology at Essex, with support from the legislature and private foundations, currently provide this opportunity to 45 students from the partner high schools.
Candidates for these crews are selected through the alternative education programs of each participating high school and the application process is administered through the VYCC office.
