“We are proud to support GOTRVT and the incredible impact they have on girls’ lives here in Vermont. As a coach I saw the increased self-esteem and resilience this program builds in girls and as a mother I have seen the lasting effects on my daughters as they face the world as confident, strong young women,” Megan Peek, Director of Community Relations at Blue Cross of Vermont, the statewide sponsor of GOTRVT, said.
GOTRVT strives to make a lasting impact on the social, emotional, and physical wellbeing of young girls in 3rd-8th grade as they face societal pressures at a particularly vulnerable part of childhood. GOTRVT appreciates the support from the community to ensure the sustainability of its programs across the state. To learn more, visit https://www.gotrvt.org/ or email [email protected].
