What was it like for you to make a home in Strafford?

What would make you feel more at home in the town?

Join the White River Valley Consortium for an evening of storytelling, a yummy dinner, and the warm company of your neighbors. Listen to each other’s experiences and learn about the community’s unique dynamics. 

The gathering is hosted by the White River Valley Consortium and is part of a series of community conversations being held across the consortium’s region aimed at building community connection so that we can collaborate on solutions to shared challenges.

What if I don’t live in Strafford?

This event is hosted in Strafford and geared towards the local community (Strafford and its neighbors), but it is open to anyone who considers themself a part of that community, whether living in the area, working in Strafford or a nearby town, or coming from the area but currently living somewhere else.

The White River Valley Consortium is a collaboration between diverse partners serving the communities of Braintree, Bethel, Brookfield, Chelsea, Granville, Hancock, Pittsfield, Randolph, Royalton, Rochester, Sharon, Strafford, Stockbridge, and Tunbridge. Since 2019, organizations and community members from these 14 towns have been building relationships and exploring community issues as part of the Working Communities Challenge program; in 2022, they began a three-year project focused on the availability of housing that is affordable for young people.
