Vermont Parent Representation Center, Inc.

Vermont Parent Representation Center, Inc. (VPRC) is a not-for-profit law, social work, and  public  policy  organization.

Our mission is:

 “To ensure, through advocacy and support, that children who can live safely with their parents are afforded a real opportunity to do so.”

Our goals are:

• To reduce the number of children removed from their families into state and other out-of-home custody;
• To shorten the length of stay in state and other out-of-home custody for children who have been removed; and
• To reduce the number of children re-entering state and other out-of-home custody after being reunified with their families.

VPRC is achieving these outcomes by:

1. Providing a program of effective family support services for parents at risk of having their children placed in state or other out-of-home custody;
2. Using an effective model of legal representation for parents involved in the child welfare system; and
3. Advocating for effective support at the state and local policy level.
