Porter Nurses Vote to Join Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals, AFT Vermont

Whether it is an early educator who wants to provide the best possible service for the children she cares for, or a recent high school graduate who isn’t sure yet what he wants to do for his career, Vermonters should have access to high quality, affordable higher education.
