Project: VISION’s mission is to help youth of Chicago’s Chinatown, Bridgeport, McKinley Park, and surrounding communities achieve their full potentials by providing them with tools for educational, personal, and civic development. Project: VISION takes a holistic approach to youth development. Our programs help under-resourced youth achieve academic success, develop personal strengths and skills, and build positive attitudes and confidence, preparing them to become well-rounded, socially responsible community leaders. Three core program areas aim to help our youth LEARN, encourage them to SERVE, and finally LEAD. Since it was founded In 2003, Project: VISION has reached over 1,000 youth with its free after-school programs. Last year, we served over 250 youth, providing over 36,000 hours of service and helping them succeed: - 100% promoted to the next grade on time - 100% graduate high school on time - 100% are accepted into college
