VRLC members will also contribute to their Host Site's conservation efforts and food security efforts through tasks such as trail maintenance, maintaining community gardens, harvesting crops, and coordinating food drop-offs. VRLC is a learn-by-doing program that supports members in their path to educational and career attainment through personalized direct service experiences and ongoing training, networking, and professional development opportunities offered throughout the service year.

Upward Bound at Vermont State University-Lyndon is committed to providing modest-income, first-generation college-bound students with the academic background, college preparatory experiences, and support needed to succeed in college immediately after high school. Upward Bound students spend six weeks of their summer on the campus of VTSU-Lyndon. During these six weeks students complete four hours of college preparatory course work every morning, three hours of volunteer service in our community each afternoon, and spend evenings engaged in a variety of activities designed to expand their educational opportunities and promote cultural and inter-personal growth in order to further prepare them for post-secondary education.
