• Equitable 3SquaresVT outreach strategies, projects, best practices, lessons learned
• Effective application assistance practices for supporting specific populations (including immigrants, veterans, older adults, and folks experiencing homelessness, etc.)
• Education about specific program rules (including work requirements, 3SquaresVT in a SNAP, etc.)

“From Policy to Practice” is our theme this year. Knowing the rules of 3SquaresVT is really important for helping people get the support and information they need--and in a way that's dignified, kind, and accessible. Understanding the federal landscape of opportunity to strengthen and improve SNAP policy is important, too, so we can collectively work to ensure 3SquaresVT works for EVERYONE who qualifies in Vermont. By emphasizing the importance of both policy and practice, the 3SquaresVT conference seeks to enhance understanding, collaboration, and innovation in the program. Come ready to learn about the following:

• Specific program policy and regulations–such as eligibility rules for immigrants, veterans, older adults, and folks experiencing homelessness
• Strategies for connecting the dots between 3SquaresVT and other programs (such as Fuel Assistance, EITC, etc.)
• Best practices for application assistance and equitable 3SquaresVT outreach
• Advocacy! Opportunities at the state and federal levels to improve 3SquaresVT
