      Learn. Serve. Lead.

      Project: VISION (PV) is a nonprofit organization with a mission to help youth in Chicago’s Greater Chinatown community reach their full potential by providing them with tools for educational, personal, and civic development.

      PV programs ensure that youth are supported to LEARN, encouraged to SERVE their communities, and finally empowered to LEAD through tutoring, mentoring, college and career readiness, service learning, and leadership training. These programs guide and support youth as they work toward their educational goals while building confidence, character, positive attitudes, and essential skills that prepare them for the workplace and as engaged citizens in their communities.
