    • The program was truly an unforgettable experience. I feel connected to the DR in a second home type of way and definitely wish to come back someday ??

    • I did have a lot of fun some of the bonds i made on this trip I hope to carry into my adult life because once I really opened up to the people and the experience it was one of the best things to ever happen to me.

      - Julia DeLima - September 19, 2024
    • I love Visions' approach to teach kids about the value of community. It's more than excursions and visiting a beautiful place; It's the valuable experience of guiding a group of teens to work together to accomplish something significant collectively and having fun along the way. Julia had an amazing experience! She made valuable friendships and came home with a renewed enthusiasm to set goals for her senior year and beyond. The program enforces a "can do" attitude promoting a growth mindset all while having fun experiences with new friends.
