About Vermont Elder Resource Group

Here at Vermont Elder Resource Group, we see value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2000, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit Organization upon: support, empowerment and progress.

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. Vermont Elder Resource Group emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words.
