UVM Norwich Survey Explores Why Vermont Youth Leave or Stay

Vermont Roots Survey

Attracting (and keeping) Vermont’s young adults to careers in the state are a concern of many Vermonters.

Why do some Vermont youth choose to stay in Vermont as adults? What factors push or pull youth to leave the state? Who returns to Vermont to settle down and why? A survey being conducted by UVM and Norwich researchers is investigating these questions by asking former Vermont high school students about their experiences since leaving school.

The anonymous survey runs through April 15 and is open to anyone who was a resident of Vermont or lived in Vermont while attending a private or public high school, or former Vermont high school students who attended a public school in a neighboring state (such as NH).
