Fifth grader Roslyn Fortin sworn in as Vermont’s first Kid Governor to fight homelessness and youth issues.
Vermont’s first Kid Governor, fifth grader Roslyn Fortin from Highgate, was sworn in at the statehouse on January 12, 2026, launching a new civic initiative led by the Secretary of State’s office in partnership with the Connecticut Democracy Center.
Elected by over 1,000 fifth graders across 47 schools, Fortin will serve a one-year term focused on addressing homelessness through food drives, clothing collections, community potlucks, and a “Fun Run for Hope.” Her cabinet, made up of other statewide finalists, will tackle youth mental health, bullying, and school lunches.
The program aims to inspire civic engagement and leadership among young people, with Fortin and her team meeting Governor Phil Scott and working with state officials to implement projects.
