Friends For A_Dog has zero-tolerance for racism. Black Lives Matter.

The Friends For A_Dog Foundation stands in solidarity with recent protests against police brutality throughout Vermont, our nation, and the world. We kneel in solidarity with those protesting the systemic racism that has violently been directed toward Black and Brown people.

For seven years, FFAD has worked in Vermont to offer arts and recreation programming to youth in Vermont. Our intentional efforts to reach out to underserved youth reflect our belief that music, dance, visual arts, and recreation help build stronger communities through forging relationships between people.

Our programming also reflects recognition of and gratitude for the creation of music and art by people of color. We look forward to returning to offering programs for youth that reflects our belief in equity and access for all.
