 The University of Vermont Health Network has launched a new campaign to challenge everyone to practice small acts of community and celebrate the positive impact every individual can have in making our communities better for all.
Step 1. Read the Pledge

Step 2. 10 Small Acts
Over the next two weeks, commit to intentionally finding and doing ten small acts of community. Will ten acts change everything? Maybe…or it might just start a new and wonderful habit.
Visit https://www.actsofcommunity.org/ to learn more or take the challenge. You can download a FREE toolkit filled with ways to help spread the word and order stickers, window clings, and more.
