VISIONS Alumni Community
Once you’ve lived and worked with VISIONS, you’re part of this community for life. Stay connected, share your story, and help others have their own VISIONS summer.
Your VISIONS Legacy
Since 1989, thousands of VISIONS teens, leaders and community partners have worked side-by-side in communities around the world. You’ve helped build classrooms, community centers, homes, playgrounds and more—while forming friendships that last long after the summer ends.
- 35+ summers of programs
- 25 program locations over the years
- 3 flagship communities still going strong in Peru, the Dominican Republic and Montana Blackfeet Reservation

Custom Programs
Dominican Republic, 2025
VISIONS offers customized trips for alumni and any group of people you’d like to put together. Held outside our summer program dates, these experiences are available year-round in the Dominican Republic and Peru, and pre- or post-summer on the Montana Blackfeet Nation.

More than half of VISIONS participants come through alumni. Your referrals make all the difference. Here are three easy ways to encourage teens to experience meaningful service and authentic community.

Keep the Impact Going
VISIONS Foundation supports partner communities year-round and offers scholarships so more teens can join our programs. Alumni often continue their VISIONS journey by giving, fundraising, or launching their own service projects in connection with VISIONS communities.
