The Vermont Consortium for Adoption and Guardianship is a non-profit membership organization that works collaboratively to further the knowledge and understanding of the needs of children and youth being raised by someone other than their birth parents. Representatives from each agency work with one another to ensure that all people whose lives are touched by adoption or guardianship have access to quality support services throughout Vermont. Services to families and professionals include a resource information website, a lending library, a newsletter, and trainings for professionals and families.
