Success and Achievements:
Partnering for Peace Between the Jewish Community and the Greater Vermont Community
K–12 Education & Institutional Engagement
We have built relationships with schools across Vermont, providing educators, administrators, and school boards with resources, training, and guidance to recognize and respond to antisemitism.
Community Organizing
We have worked with Vermont communities to build connection, strengthen Jewish voices, and respond to antisemitism wherever it surfaces. On Town Meeting Day, that work translated into concrete wins, with communities across Vermont rejecting divisive, antisemitic resolutions.
A Historic Hearing Before the Vermont Board of Education
Shalom Alliance facilitated a State House hearing where Jewish students and community members testified before the Vermont Board of Education about antisemitism in Vermont schools. That testimony is being used to advocate for clear requirements for Holocaust and contemporary antisemitism education in Vermont schools. Watch the hearing here.
