Since its inception in 1898, the Vermont Society has worked to promote the colonial heritage of Vermont and the United States. Current and recent activities include: 

•••Patriotic Service: Welcome new American citizens at a naturalization ceremony 

•••Patriotic Service: Financial support for the World War II grave-sites of American soldiers buried at the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, Netherlands (please visit this link for more information about the project) 

***Donate yearly to the NSCDA American Indian Medical Scholarship Program
The American Indian Medical Scholarship Award Program (AIMS) was started by the NSCDA in 1928 to give students of American Indian descent the opportunity to pursue careers in nursing. The students are expected to return to work among their people to help improve health care. Some students work on reservations, and others find employment in hospitals in areas largely populated by American Indians. Intended originally to benefit females only, the program has expanded to include males and the career goals now include not only nursing careers, but jobs in health care and health education, as well.

•••Regular Vermont membership meetings with lunch and guest speaker; annually a joint meeting with NSCDA New Hampshire members
