"VISION Outreach's commitment to addressing the pain points of student disengagement and the need for enrichment programming has been exemplary. Our students have become more excited about learning and are actively engaged in the classroom. The attendance rate has improved significantly, and we've seen a marked decrease in discipline referrals." - Principal at a Participating School
It's disheartening to witness the disparities in educational access for youth, resulting in missed opportunities and potential. Without proper support and resources, these young individuals may struggle to develop the skills necessary to succeed in today's competitive world, perpetuating the cycle of inequality and limiting their future prospects.
VISION Outreach is committed to bridging this gap through our impactful programming options:

#HolidayCheerProject 2019Every year since 2015, the VISIONaries have spread some holiday cheer with their #HolidayCheerProject . Usually the VISIONaries travel to senior citizen facilities, police stations, libraries, fire stations, and children's hospitals to carol, give gifts, and spend qualities time with residents. This year, the VISIONaries set their sights on something viral and on an issue that was pressing. With hopes of combating the "Holiday Blues" and speaking out against bullying, the VISIONaries 2019 #HolidayCheerProject 's focus is to encourage and remind everyone one simple message of truth: IT GETS BETTER.
While brainstorming and creating the content for the project, the VISIONaries determined that their collective Christmas wish is to save a life with this project. Please feel free to share their videos to any and all who may need encouragement this holiday season or any students who have struggles with bullies. |
