Capstone Head Start is enrolling children and families
Head Start at Capstone Community Action has multiple openings in Lamoille, Washington, and Orange counties, which provides services for families with young children and pregnant individuals. We also help support you in your next steps in life, the caregiver of the child or pregnant individual, with connections to social, health, housing, food services, and much more.
Career Opportunities
Working at Capstone Community Action is a truly rewarding experience. Not only will you enjoy a supportive work environment, great benefits, and professional growth opportunities, but you can feel satisfied knowing that you’re making a real difference in our community.
Volunteer Opportunities
We are seeking volunteers for our VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program who will receive free training in tax preparation. Every year our tax volunteers help low to moderate income Vermonters by preparing taxes and accessing refunds credits due to them. No experience is necessary. Operators are also needed for our busy phones and no tax training is needed for this role. If interested, please contact Laura Sudhoff at 802-477-5176 or lsudhoff@capstonevt.org.
Fuel Your Neighbors

Your donation will double its impact with a $1 for $1 match thanks to our generous community partners, VSECU and The Alchemist.

Support Neighbors Navigating Challenging Times
Capstone financial coach, Mary Johnson (left), recently supported Diana* through a complex point in her life. A single mom of two teenagers, without a car, and living in a motel due to a recent eviction, Diana was simultaneously fired from her job and diagnosed with cancer. Mary helped her enroll in Reach Up and improve her financial skills, and worked with Diana for a year in individual meetings and classes.
Fast forward to today, Diana has a new job, is paying down debt and starting to improve her credit score. Most importantly, she is excited to restart her life with greater stability and independence! *Note: Name has been changed to protect privacy.
Together, we can make these stories of a community that cares a reality. Your donation empowers our neighbors to build security in the face of adversity.

A Participant's Story
“I’ve worked with Sue Rossi at Capstone since the 90’s for fuel assistance. I need to keep warm and this program helps me do that. I’ve also had weatherization twice in my house. I just feel very honestly that this is a godsend and a blessing. ”
- Marcia Kepnes, speaking about LIHEAP and Capstone support
