About Us
Group Hangout
At Vision Young Leaders' Academy we host a group hangout on the 2nd Friday of every month in order to build a supportive community filled with a variety of fun filled activities. Some of our favorites are Skating Plus, Buena Lanes Bowling, and Golf N' Stuff.
field trips
This last June we experienced our second annual Summer Camping Retreat at Ventura Ranch KOA Campground in Santa Paula where we had so much fun enjoying the great outdoors. We spent two nights connecting with other members, swimming, playing games, doing arts and crafts and hanging out by the camp fire.
community service
We are committed to making our community a better place and have community service events throughout the year. This year our young members collected personal items for 100 hygiene bags to be distributed to displaced community members in Oxnard.
athletics
This last summer we started our VISION Athletics Program. We had a 6th grade boys basketball team during the summer and a 6th grade girls volleyball team during the fall. Our players showed how hard work, dedication and effort leads to great improvement in their skills.
Guest speaker
Professional soccer player, Yadira Toraya, joined our meetup to share her story from childhood to becoming a professional soccer player. She explained the many struggles she encountered along the way and how her desire to succeed was greater than any hurdle she met. Yadira challenged our members to set goals and never give up on them. She instilled in them that it doesn't matter who you are or where you are from, anything is possible.
