Scholarship Available for the 2022 Action Circles Academy Series!
We are pleased to share that the Vermont Chapter of the Sierra Club has offered to cover the cost of registration for one individual to attend the 2022 Academy Series. One of the goals of the Action Circles Model of Organizing is to “build solidarity among people who are oppressed or are suffering an injustice”. In order to help advance that goal, this scholarship is reserved for a Vermonter who represents a historically underserved community.
