The Vermont Caribbean Institute (VCI) creates
sustainable solutions to strengthen communities in the Caribbean and U.S. by
designing people-to-people and educational travel opportunities and
implementing collaborative research and development projects to address today’s
most pressing socio-ecological challenges. We are dedicated to supporting social and economic
development and believe in empowering community members to create effective and
positive impacts in their lives by improving access to necessary resources and
opportunities. VCI
works in three key focal areas – environmental sustainability, sustainable food
systems, and arts and culture – in two countries – Cuba and the Dominican
Republic.
