Welcome to VISIONS
We believe that stepping outside of ourselves and encountering new perspectives fosters profound and positive change. We know that students who engage in meaningful service work in unfamiliar environments gain exceptional insight—it’s been our program model for 33 years. Our participants settle into the daily life of the host community, get to know local residents, experience different customs and in the process, begin to feel a sense of global connection. As one of the oldest international and domestic service organizations for teenagers and young adults, we celebrate this connectedness—and the hope it holds for the future.

Since 1988, we’ve built more than 1,200 structures and provided countless hours of social service.
