LANI Sustainable Organization
In accordance with LANI's program design, the Vermont Square Recognized Community Organization (RCO) originally selected the Vermont Slauson Economic Development Corporation (VSEDC), an existing nonprofit, as their sustainable organization. As the RCO members became more active in the community, they formed their own non profit organization, the Vermont Square Community Organization (VSCO). LANI still provides support services to the VSCO, but most of their technical, operational and fundraising activities are independent from LANI.
Community Organizations
Ongoing successful fundraising and community-building events such as the neighborhood carnival, dance classes, and the sale of organic produce from the community garden. Annual community jazz concert in library park.
