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.
