Our Program
We are passionate about preparing youth for the challenges ahead. Founded in 2001 and 100% operated by volunteers, the Vision Youth Leadership Program is designed to enable youth to fulfill their full leadership potential by supporting them with a variety of opportunities including mentorship, coaching, skills development, networking and resources.
Outdoor Leadership
Our outdoor leadership course takes you to beautiful wilderness areas to engage in hands-on outdoor activities. By facing these challenges, participants will yield amazing rewards like glimpsing beautiful vistas, gaining a powerful sense of accomplishment, being more self-confident, and creating lasting friendships.
Social Innovation Academy
We connect youth with cutting-edge thinking and practical experience of redesigning social constructs for a more sustainable, and flourishing civilization. This opportunity not only leads to skill enhancement, and confidence building but also helps you realize your leadership potential as you solve community challenges.
