Since 1989 VISIONS has set the standard for international community service summer programs for teens. Our programs for high school students blend hands-on community service, cross-cultural immersion, exploration and adventure in communities in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean West Indies, and Vietnam.
Living with other teenagers in the heart of a host community whose members become familiar friends, you will experience ways of life very different from your own. Immersed in this other culture, you'll awaken to days with a rhythm and substance that push you to tap into and trust your potential.
VISIONS is learning at its most dynamic. The rewards come in direct proportion to your efforts. Our goal is for teenagers to return home with a genuine appreciation for this multi-cultural planet and more confident in their ability to impact it productively.
Open your mind. Lend a hand. You will emerge from VISIONS clearer about what you can do and authentically informed, if not changed, by a different place in the world community you share with your hosts.
Join us for a life changing summer.

As a VISIONS program director I had the chance to apply my Peace Corps experiences (in Gabon Africa) by opening a window for teenagers to the world of service and intercultural learning. So much experience and personal growth can be packed into 3 or 4 weeks when the staff, the sites, and program structures are as wisely crafted, tried and true, as VISIONS. VISIONS combines high ideals with high standards. The result is an extraordinary program that matches - and exceeds - brochure images. VISIONS participants come to see the world as a smaller and more interesting place.
