A statewide nonprofit organization founded in 1974, the Vermont Humanities Council is committed to “creating a state in which every individual reads, participates in public affairs and continues to learn throughout life”. A state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, VHC believes that engagement with the world of ideas, in interaction with others, contributes uniquely to richer lives, stronger communities, a more humane society and a better world. Because the Vermont Humanities Council believes that the humanities and the world of ideas belong to everyone, it has developed a broad range of programs that serve Vermonters of all ages and backgrounds. Each year VHC sponsors over 1,500 programs. They occur in more than 160 Vermont towns, including communities in every county.

Description:	Vermont Humanities Council
	Programs include book discussions, speaker events, conferences, a statewide one-book community reading program, Creating Communities of Readers grants and a grants program that supports humanities projects of other nonprofit organizations. These programs and events strengthen Vermont’s communities not only by their character and design, but also by happening in the facilities of key town organizations such as libraries, museums, community centers and schools. Moreover, humanities-based literacy programs are targeted at childcare providers, middle school students, teen parents, incarcerated adults and adult basic education students.
