The Vermont School Counselor Association (VTSCA) expands the image and influence of professional school counselors through advocacy, leadership, collaboration and systemic change. VTSCA empowers professional school counselors with the knowledge, skills, linkages, and resources to promote student success in the school, the home, the community, and the world. VTSCA is the chartered state division of the American School Counselor Association.

COMING SOON: THE VTSCA PODCAST!

Join us on our journey to empower professional school counselors with the knowledge, skills, and resources as they promote student success and well-being. The VTSCA podcast is here to support school counselors, elevate voices through storytelling and interviews, and educate listeners along the way. 

Our first episode drops in late September.

In response to the need for school counselors to receive high quality mentoring, we have established the VTSCA mentoring program to offer additional support to new school counselors or current school counselors moving to a different grade level of service. 

VTSCA currently seeks applicants for both mentors and mentees.
