Growing Vermont is a student run store that offers a variety of locally designed goods created by small-scale, start-up entrepreneurs in the State of Vermont. Our mission is to educate the community about the positive impacts of buying local while building awareness of the availability of Vermont products and businesses. We continually strive to build a strong community bond between Growing Vermont, small business and the larger Vermont community. Growing Vermont aims to contribute to sustainable, community-based economic development in the state of Vermont through educational partnerships between UVM students and Vermont entrepreneurs. I began working with the organization as a clerk where my duties included customer service, invoicing, taking inventory and making sales. I became more involved as I took on responsibilities as a leader in the marketing and public relations committee. My duties included advertising, event planning and creative outreach. Additionally, I was a member of the Product Advisory committee which served to interview potential vendors and reach consensus as to the products the organization would highlight within the store.
