This season, the youth have supported our community by providing their organic produce to the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center for the medical center cafeteria, to the Bennington Meals on Wheels program for distribution to the needy, and to area restaurants.

“The Tutorial Center has been wonderful. It was just what our sons needed to build their confidence in the the subject they liked least. The teachers are very professional and think ‘outside the box’ in order to meet the needs of each individual student.”
