SLIDING SCALE REGISTRATION

In Summer 2021, VTS explored the use of a sliding scale as an experiment in equitable pricing. In July 2022, all VTS programs began utilizing a sliding scale for registration. We are confident that those who join us are committed to being part of a thoughtful community that is diverse, engaged in active collective learning, and interested in finding new ways of supporting each other. We have been inspired to use this pricing strategy by Embracing an Equity Sliding Scale.
