Our Programs
New Vision Foundation offers school-based as well as after-school coding and digital literacy classes for disadvantaged youth and young adults.
Since our founding in 2016, we have continued to invest heavily in our youth and prepare them for the 21st century digital economy. We want to foster opportunities for them to connect with the world of coding, introduce them to careers in the information technology sector, and create a robust pipeline of future high-tech employees.
Staff & Board
New Vision Foundation staff, from the Founder & Executive Director, to Software Developers that teach the coding classes, are members of the minority community themselves. They bring decades of technical experience, cultural competency and credibility of working towards community economic development and social justice.
