BURLINGTON-The Vermont Professionals of Color Network (VT PoC) has announced the launch of its BIPOC Community Survey, aimed at gathering insights and experiences from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) living in Vermont.
Launched on May 1, the survey offers BIPOC individuals an opportunity to share their perspectives to enhance economic opportunities and community building across the state.
The survey, designed to take approximately 15 minutes to complete, is open to all individuals who identify as BIPOC and reside in Vermont, regardless of whether they were born inside or outside the United States. Participants are encouraged to provide feedback on their experiences in Vermont, usage of existing resources within the state, perceptions of VT PoC, and preferences for community engagement.
"We hope that the survey results will illuminate the many intersections of the BIPOC community in Vermont; why Vermont is our home, what our hopes for the state are, and what we need to be successful," VT PoC Executive Director and Co-founder Weiwei Wang said in a news release. "All of this will help VT PoC to create programming and new opportunities for the community."
Participants completing the survey can enter a prize drawing, including a chance to win a $100 gift card to a BIPOC-owned business, further supporting local BIPOC entrepreneurs and businesses.
The BIPOC Community Survey will be accepting responses until July 31. BIPOC individuals interested in contributing their insights are encouraged to access the survey at bit.ly/vtpocsurvey.
