Urban Vision is a nonprofit organization that encourages
individual success and neighborhood vitality by promoting
educational equity, lifelong learning, and economic
opportunity. Urban Vision is located in Charlottesville,
Virginia.
At Urban Vision our mission is to encourage individual
success and neighborhood vitality within subsidized
housing communities.
We are guided by the following core beliefs:
- People flourish when they are able to dream.
- Parents dream of a life for their children filled
with opportunity.
- As individuals learn and grow more capable, the
entire community becomes more vibrant and more livable.
- The bridge to connect dreams to reality includes
education, life-long learning, and economic opportunity.
- Responsible choices and strategic partnerships
made today lead to tomorrow's success.
We at Urban Vision think we are on the right track.
Our programming demonstrates an approach that is unique
and successful. We seek Educational Equity by enabling
urban youth to achieve standardized test scores equal
to or better than the general population. We encourage
self-employment as a means to Economic Opportunity.
Finally, we promote life-long learning as a connection
between Educational Equity and Economic Opportunity
and as a way to sustain success.
We approach our challenges one person and one family
at a time, and we carefully measure our results. We
hope you will want to learn more about Urban Vision
and to support us in our efforts.
