This page connects you to money, childcare, food, housing, and people on campus who can help. Most of these resources are free, and many are available today. If you have a child under 18 and you're enrolled at VVC, this is your starting point.

However, even if you are not enrolled yet, we strongly encourage you to ask questions! Please reach out to any office listed below to learn how to get started or get help registering for classes.
