Volunteers needed for world record lean-to building project at the New Home of the Corps in Richmond, VT October 8th and 9th!
In order to construct lean-tos which will house Corps Members next spring, we will attempt to build eight lean-tos in one weekend. To do this we will need about 25 experienced builders and 200 volunteers to help us accomplish this mission; some to do actual carpentry and many more to ferry materials up to various sites. More details to follow - but we will need everyone! To sign up, or for more information, please contact Thomas Hark at

Wrapping up the $3.7 million Capital Campaign
We have raised $2.6 million of our $3.7 million goal, but need to raise the last $1.1 million to complete the transformation of the West Monitor Barn into the home of the VYCC. We are offering a unique opportunity to become a permanent part of the Training Center landscape by selling personalized engraved bricks to be installed in the walkway leading to the main entrance. For more information about our brick project, or to purchase a brick for yourself or as a gift for someone you love, please click here (PDF:101K).
If you haven't made a gift to the campaign, please make a gift now! Gifts of all levels are needed to help us complete the last stage of this project! For more information, or to make a gift, please contact Kate Villa, Director of Advancement at 802-241-3907 or
