Teen Summer Service Programs

Connect, Learn & Make a Difference

VISIONS teen volunteers become part of daily life in the host community, making local friends through an immersion experience that builds a sense of global connection. As one of the original international community service programs for teenagers, we celebrate this connectedness and the hope it holds for the future.
