Breck Knauft – “A Stronger Vermont Through Service”
July 16 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
On Tuesday, July 16, 2024, community members from Woodstock and beyond are invited to join Breck Knauft, Executive Director of VYCC, for a discussion on service experiences for young adults.
Consider Vermont’s workforce and higher education challenges: How can Vermont retain and attract young people? In a time of social and political division, how can our communities support youth as they transition to adulthood? How can we help the next generation of leaders prepare for civic life and careers?
Breck will open up a conversation about these challenges and opportunities. Join him to hear stories about young people working and learning together. Hear examples of paid service bringing people together and creating career pathways.
Learn about VYCC’s 20 years of work in Woodstock, and how Woodstock’s VYCC crews are part of a growing national service movement.
