Learn about Streets as Places, a new community micro-grant program supporting Vermonters who want to bring neighbors together by hosting block parties and other street gatherings. We will introduce the program, explain how the micro-grants work, and offer practical ideas for organizing simple, inclusive street gatherings that bring neighbors together across generations.

Streets as Places is a program from Local Motion in partnership with AARP Vermont, the Preservation Trust of Vermont, and Front Porch Forum Vermont, offering small grants to help residents temporarily transform neighborhood and village streets into welcoming spaces for connection, celebration, and shared community life.
