People and organizations are coming together around a holistic approach to preventing substance misuse and promoting wellbeing in our communities.
To include an event on our calendar, please send an email to preventionnetwork@unitedwaynwvt.org at least 5 days prior to the event. Include the event title, date, times, cost if any, contact information, and a brief description of the event.
Give the gift of time to help prevention partners make a positive impact on resilience and wellbeing in our communities.
Many of our partner organizations are looking for volunteers, especially those whose work revolves around mentorship, restorative justice, social connection and sense of belonging. You can search for local volunteer opportunities contributing to prevention on United Way’s Volunteer Connection site, where you can filter by location, organization, or by impact area.
