Three of our kids attended VISIONS. It’s one of the most authentic and meaningful experiences they had as teens. VISIONS is almost understated about their impact, both for the local communities and for kids’ lives. It’s the ingredients of being tech-free, deeply immersed in places that have partnered with the organization for decades, and a sincere belief in the power of young people.

VISIONS builds communities of teens, leaders and local people who support each other while working toward shared goals and supporting community needs. The experience builds character and changes lives.
You are Mindful
You will accomplish things you never imagined, all while gaining leadership skills, resilience and self-confidence. You’ll get a glimpse of a future version of yourself—and it will inspire you.
You are family
You don’t just visit—you belong. You’ll live, work and play like a true community member, connecting with local people and being part of something real.
You are an explorer
You’ll explore amazing places and connect with beautiful landscapes. You’ll dive into a different way of life, fully experiencing it, and keeping your heart and mind wide open for everything it offers.
