Our Trailblazers teamed up with the Town of St. Johnsbury Recreation Department this past weekend to put their new skills to work - replacing a door and building steps for the warming huts at St. J’s two outdoor ice rinks.

We’re grateful for chances like this to give back to the communities that welcome us!

This summer, three Hartford Trailblazers completed hands-on internships with Earthshare Construction LLC.

When asked about their experience hosting, Earthshare President Ethan Cole shared, “It gave us the opportunity to both teach and learn from new people, and gave us a better understanding of the barriers that people have historically faced when getting into our industry.”

There’s a new memorial bench in the recreation yard at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility!

The bench was the culminating project of a five-session Trailblazers program offered by VWW inside the facility. The cohort was a successful example of how hands-on workforce development programming can support skill-building and re-entry preparation.

VWW relies on the support of volunteers to make Women Can Do possible. From helping to set up and break down tables and chairs, to prepping materials for students, to greeting and directing students around the VTSU campus, volunteers are crucial to making the career exploration conference a positive, impactful experience for students. The deadline to sign up is September 20.

Volunteer roles are available for the full day 7:00 am - 2:20 pm. Sign up at: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/URwhbazQzj
