Projects
VISIONS Foundation has contributed to projects ranging from school construction to fundraisers supporting people in economic turmoil during the Covid pandemic. Most of these projects have been made possible by inspired and committed teenagers who have been touched by the power of hands-on community service and immersion experiences with VISIONS Foundation’s volunteer programs partner, VISIONS Service Adventures (VSA).
The partnership of these “two VISIONS” (Foundation and VSA) along with alumni of VSA who have had the personal experience of giving back through volunteering creates a powerful dynamic. These teen volunteers as well as volunteer groups of any age can be intimately involved in doing service work alongside local community members through VSA, and can bolster that support with financial contributions through the Foundation.
VISIONS teen volunteers and adult alum can make a difference this holiday season - and year round - with our new Give-Back initiative. Be part of VISIONS history and future and give to important causes you care about.
