VHCB hosts the longest running AmeriCorps program in Vermont! For over 25 years we’ve been getting things done in fulfillment of the AmeriCorps mission: to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering.
At VHCB AmeriCorps, we provide opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to put their values into action and make a difference where the need is greatest.
Our AmeriCorps members are placed at nonprofits that support affordable housing, land conservation, and environmental education. They clean up streams, assist community members in navigating rental assistance programs, reduce barriers to Vermont’s natural landscapes, manage volunteers at food banks, and so much more.
No matter who you are or what skills you have, there is a place for you to make the world a better place. If you want to get on-the-ground experience directly supporting communities and get things done for our environment, give your time and build your talent with VHCB AmeriCorps.

Member Voices
“What I’ve learned in my VHCB AmeriCorps Service has inspired me to pursue a career in social work. The invaluable skills that I have learned during my time will help me get a jump start on my education and my career.”
Matthew Carey, Groundworks Collaborative
“Upon my own reflection and that of my supervisor, I have seen how much confidence I have gained, and how many skills I have developed over my time as an AmeriCorps member. I came into this service term intending to learn more about my community, and I have left with that and so much more. I know that I have had an impact on my host site and Vermonters, and I can’t wait to see how this experience will shape my future.”
Addie Hedges, Vermont River Conservancy
“What I have learned throughout my service will help me going forward because I was able to develop leadership skills in an area that I would have never thought I could be leader in, giving me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and be confident in myself as a vital member of any team.”
Jess Forsyth, Montpelier Parks
