Vermont Yoga Festival Beneficiaries
The Magic House is a non-profit that provides educational opportunities for young adults and children at risk. Our target population is children from orphanages and the foster care system. We provide job training, personal mentoring, educational support, life skills and individualized care for the kids in our program. We have worked with mentally disabled children from Russian orphanages as well as children at risk here in Central Vermont.
ReSOURCE's mission is to (1) protect the environment by reducing the amount of reusable and repairable items dumped in landfills, (2) give individuals in transition valuable job skills, technical training, and more opportunity and (3) alleviate the effects of poverty by making vital household goods and building materials available to the poor.
