On our website you can read and see what VISIONS does. Yes, we offer international service programs for high school students. In 1988 we envisioned a kind of Peace Corps for teenagers, with a healthy dose of exploration. Since our first season in 1989 we have been offering volunteer summer programs for teens in communities all over the world and for teenagers from the U.S. and abroad. The work is productive and meaningful. The recreation and exploration offered are adventurous and exhilarating. The cultural immersion is life-changing. These are reasons enough to consider VISIONS. There may be another reason to consider VISIONS Service Adventures:college preparation.

Participating in a VISIONS Service Adventure program most likely will change your life. You will grow in ways you never imagined. You inevitably will become more confident in yourself and of your capabilities. The changes that you create with your own hands and heart in a community far away from home will affect you and the decisions you make forever. (If you don’t believe us, talk to our references and read the testimonials on our website.) Probably, you are a high school student preparing for your future, and so the most prominent thing on your mind these days or soon enough, is college—which you will attend and if you’ll be accepted by the college or university of your choice.

Colleges and universities seek well rounded applicants. A student who chooses to spend time and effort growing positively while making productive change has appeal. This means growth and change both in yourself and in the environment around you. VISIONS offers the opportunity to spend a month during your summer working, learning, exploring, enjoying life in an entirely alluring place while simultaneously improving your college admissions’ profile.International service programs for high school students are not all created equal. VISIONS offers among the highest quality experiences, and has for over 20 years. A VISIONS program is certainly among the most memorable and rewarding choices you’ll ever make.
