Statement of Purpose
Create a leadership program for Visions students focused on developing leadership, life skills, and community connections.
Selection Process
All Visions Program students are invited to apply to become Visions Leaders. Interested students should complete the application and return it to the program. Visions staff will review the application for final selection based on student level of commitment to the Visions Program (past and present) and the needs of the group as a whole.
Outcomes
Visions Leaders develop leadership skills by applying the principals of leadership learned in workshop settings to Visions Program activities, campus involvement, and team projects.
Life skills will be presented through discussion and interactive workshops including organization, time management, financial planning, career direction, and motivation. These skills provide students with valuable tools for life challenges, academic progress, transfer, and career.
Community building will foster and strengthen the connections between leaders and staff, leaders and leaders, as well as leaders and other Visions students.
