VSARNS Mission is to Achieve Education Without Racism Through Education About Racism.
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 can and will make a difference. We undertake projects to actively make changes in our schools from kindergarten to higher education, educate ourselves and our communities about anti-racism, promote honest dialogue and ensure 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. Join us!
