What We Do

We provide comprehensive support to help refugees build stable, independent lives in their new communities. Our services include housing assistance, access to medical care, referrals for employment support, English language (ELL) classes, Cultural Orientation (CO), and connections to essential community partners and resources. Through these programs, we empower individuals and families to navigate their new environment, integrate into the community, and achieve long-term self-sufficiency.

Support Services

ECDC Vermont offers a range of programs to celebrate and support diverse cultures. We connect families with language resources, cultural community groups, and interpreter services to foster inclusion and understanding.

Community Driven and Supported

ECDC Vermont is dedicated to fostering a welcoming environment that celebrates the rich cultures of refugee and immigrant families. However, we are facing unprecedented times. Federal funding is being stripped from our mission, and we must increasingly rely on public support through monetary donations, supplies, and volunteer efforts. See how you can help below.

Celebrating Diversity Through Community Efforts

ECDC Vermont is committed to supporting our new arrivals in Southern Vermont and always needs community volunteers to help make it happen. Whether you can volunteer at in-person events or online, we always need help! Check out upcoming events and how you can be a part of our mission today!
