At Vision Young Leaders' Academy we are committed to making our community a better place by building leaders of the future.
Our mission is to mentor youth, guiding them toward a strong sense of self which will positively impact their community.
We accomplish our mission by building a strong, supportive community with an open invitation to our weekly meetups, monthly hangouts, quarterly book club, as well as our community service and volunteer events throughout the year.
