Vegan Information Points (VIPs) are individuals or groups providing basic free vegan information for people who are interested in learning about the vegan lifestyle. Many are professionals who also have vegan goods or services available for hire. They are independent affiliates of American Vegan Society. Their opinions are those of the individual, not necessarily of American Vegan Society.
Each VIP has been approved for their general vegan knowledge.
Find a VIP in your area! (Scroll down for list.)
There are three ways to qualify to become a VIP:
1) Personal interview with an AVS Board member
2) Main Street Vegan Academy Graduate
3) Previously been a VIP
