We are the Vermont Student Anti-Racism Network, and we believe that

Education is Activism

We are students from all over Vermont joining together as a 501c3. We strive for racial equity and justice in all VT schools. With our voices, we undertake projects to actively make changes in our schools from Preschool to higher education, educate ourselves and our communities about anti-racism, design spaces for us to have dialogue (and have fun!), all the while ensuring the voices of students and educators of color are heard.

We started as a tiny group of 3 students on Zoom and have grown into a statewide network where we fight for our collective rights and for a better education system, through both virtual and in person engagement. We are invested in community engagement - where everyone is involved in a grassroots effort to transform inequalities and host spaces for state-wide relationships to form. We hope you’ll learn more about our mission and join us!

We’re Here For Each Other

How Can YOU Get Involved?

VSARN commits to making good trouble regardless of what comes next in our state and nation - we cannot afford to be silent. As we begin a new year, we have many opportunities for you to get involved no matter your passion, location, or capacity! If you’re looking for specifics, here are a few!

Join our first meeting of 2026 on Sunday January 11th at 4pm, where we will…

Hear stories from Northeast Kingdom Organizing Operations Director Audrey Grant, who will talk about rural social justice organizing from a youth perspective!

Divide into regional breakout rooms where you can talk with fellow student organizers at nearby schools!

Brainstorm initiatives for 2026 and beyond - led by what YOU are interested in locally!

Volunteer to Host a Regional Organizing Space!

In the new year, we will be hosting in person meetings in locations across the state, for local justice-focused student clubs to meet-up! Our first events will take place during Black History Month - with local advocacy trainings and celebratory events!

If you’d like to host a space or be involved in these events, even if you can’t attend the introductory meeting on January 11th, please reach out to addie@vsarn.org or arena@vsarn.org to get looped in!

Email Us Directly with Ideas, Thoughts, or Opportunities for Collaboration!

We love hearing from you!

Join our first general organizing meeting of 2026!
