Building on the success of the 2006 Leadership Retreats, VYCC hosted a mid-session retreat for all Community Crews during which each crew planned sustainability projects that Corps Members can complete in their home communities in the coming months. Corps Members designed six projects, including cleaning up a local park to create a skateboarding park, holding a Fall Sustainability Festival at the Statehouse to educate legislators and the general public, and highlighting river cleanup by hosting a press conference while removing a junk car from the Winooski River.
