Project LAUNCH Vermont serves children and families in Chittenden County, the state’s most populous and diverse area. The Burlington area is home to many resettled refugee families, including recent arrivals from all over the globe, such as Burmese, Bhutanese-Nepali, Somali, and Somali Bantu families. Project LAUNCH Vermont focuses on reaching these new Americans. Piloting a strengths‐based, family‐centered, culturally competent community system and building on the existing structures created by Vermont’s Building Bright Futures initiative, Project LAUNCH Vermont works to engage additional partners and stakeholders, advance measures to promote sustainability, and ultimately replicate success in communities across Vermont to achieve a coordinated, state-wide system of service delivery for young children and their families and caregivers.
