Mission Statement

Our mission is to serve as a bridge linking together the people and resources for youth to make the connections needed to transition successfully into adulthood.

Description

New Vision Youth Services, Inc. was developed in direct response to the regional and national study of disadvantaged youth falling through the cracks entering and aging out of the foster care system without family support. Current statistics show these youth are more than twice as likely as non-foster care youth to drop out of high school, in which 1 in 5 will become homeless in the state of Virginia.
