VTS Forum

The VTS Forum provides an opportunity for educators to explore VTS, discuss how VTS manifests in different settings, how it works for different constituents, and more.

During our monthly conference calls, participants will hear regular updates about VTS trainings and programs, and stay in touch with the VTS National office. The forum is open to any individuals interested in education and VTS.

Each call is focused on a different topic, varying from program to research, fundraising to outreach, and new topics recommended by forum members.
