Emerging from poverty is extremely difficult, and the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) staff and programs support our neighbors in need to do just that. We help people when hardship strikes, but we also help them to build better futures with financial capability skills training, early childhood education, weatherization, and much more.
