Every young person struggling with mental health challenges needs a community that can help them have hope again. In Rutland County, Vermont, that community is Community Care Network, one of this year’s beneficiaries of Do Good Fest. 💚

They provide compassionate, person-centered support for youth and families navigating mental health challenges, substance use, crisis situations, and major life transitions. Their work includes counseling, care coordination, outdoor adventure programming, and services that help young people stabilize and build connections.

When you reserve a ticket to this year’s Do Good Fest, you’re helping support Community Care Network and like-minded organizations through the National Life Group Peace of Mind Fund, which will distribute proceeds to five Vermont nonprofits focused on youth mental health.

🎟️ General admission tickets start at just $10. Join us for a day of music that helps make a difference for Vermont youth.
