Settled on a historic farm in the Green Mountain State, Vermont Youth Conservation Corps offers life-changing experiences for young people as they are paid to work in farming and conservation with peers and mentors.

When VYCC reached out to EUDA, they were working toward a $6 million fundraising goal to restore an 18th-century barn on their campus and were looking for a video that showcased their broader mission and impact while also highlighting their fundraising initiative. To communicate VYCC’s profound work, EUDA took a documentary-style approach to the video, capturing authentic interviews with staff leaders, youth crew members, and the people they impact. When structuring the story, we focused on anecdotes and experiences over statistics and logistics, creating a heartfelt piece that subtly implores viewers to contribute because of the strength and importance of VYCC’s mission.
