What is PIRC Vermont?

The Parent Information and Resource Center of Vermont (PIRC Vermont) is a project that provides support, information, and
training across Vermont to parents and educators. We are
sponsored by the Vermont Family Network (VFN),
and funded by the U.S. Department of Education. PIRC Vermont
is a joint effort of VFN and the network of 15 Vermont Parent
Child Centers.

PIRC Vermont’s purpose is to help children of all ages succeed in
school. We do this by helping families from all walks of life to
actively participate in their child’s education and by supporting
schools in their efforts to build strong partnerships with parents.
