Vision Youth Program: Transforming the Lives of At-Risk Youth

The purpose of this project is to transform the lives of high-risk young people nationally, especially those residing in economically disadvantaged communities in Seattle and Tacoma, Washington; West Virginia; and New York City. Vision Youth will facilitate the provision of one-on-one mentoring, and educational enhancement, and life-skills training that will increase the developmental assets of these youth. Project goals are 1) improved academic performance by at-risk children and youth; and 2) reduction of other identified individual-based risk factors that keep these youth from reaching their full potential and being able to break the generational cycle of poverty.
