It doesn't take a village, it takes the villagers.
Our inaugural Jay Peak One Town celebration is an initiative to recognize the people in the communities in and around Jay Peak and the Northeast Kingdom, who dedicate their time, skills, passion and know-how to enhancing all our lives and communities. Whether as a volunteer, part of a not-for-profit, or employed as change makers for key local businesses, these folks do more than any paycheck could ever reflect. Driven by selflessness, kindness, empathy, and a deep-rooted desire to help improve the communities we all live, work and play in, they offer a certain energy that drives our communities and makes them better places to live. And even though the last thing they expect is acknowledgment for what they contribute, that’s exactly what we want to do.
“The irony in recognizing these community stewards is that it’s probably the last thing many of them want. These folks make our small communities better by virtue of what they do and who they are and we thought that acknowledging that, and spending a night celebrating them, is not only the right thing to do, but may engender more folks to step forward and match their energy and passion and continue raising the bar in these communities that mean so much to all of us.”

The winners, a nominated guest from our communities, and the nominator will be invited to a celebratory Gala and presentation at Jay Peak Resort on Friday evening, April 26th, 2024. Designed to give back a little to those who offer up so much, the event will include dinner, free lodging for winners and nominators for the evening in our Hotel Jay, gifts, prizes, and most importantly an opportunity to recognize the people who contribute to the health of our local communities the most.
