Vermont’s 15 Parent Child Centers are local organizations, but through the Vermont Parent Child Center Network, they also work as one statewide team.

The Network itself is established in Vermont law. Each month, leaders from all 15 centers meet with VPCCN Director Ellen Amstutz to share ideas, solve challenges and strengthen services for families.

They also set shared legislative priorities and work with lawmakers and advocacy partners to build support and funding for Parent Child Centers.

Together, they make every center stronger and help elevate the voices of Vermont families💚
