Our Purpose

NEKO is a coalition of individuals, families, faith and community-based organizations that come together to organize and advocate for economic, social, and environmental justice for the people and the places of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. We do this by building relationships across differences and centering the voices of NEK residents often ignored in decisions about their communities.Our campaigns evolve as our membership evolves. We are a member-led organization and the voices, vision, and experiences of our members shape what we build.
