VISIONS Service Adventures

"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.
