It has been said that a nation’s greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members.  Laraway Youth & Family Services provides a quality of care to vulnerable children that could meet and surpass any such test.  Vermonters should be proud of the jewel that is Laraway, which despite very limited resources, educates and supports fragile children with exceptional skill and compassion.

Donating to Laraway is the most effective way I’ve seen to build a healthy future for youth whose needs cannot be met in public schools---and to support their families as well.  Fifteen years of School Board service has shown me how well our schools meet the needs of most special-needs and at-risk kids.  Laraway takes a step further, helping the most vulnerable children and youth succeed by integrating education with a full spectrum of therapeutic supports and programs.
