Vision New America was founded in 1996 to promote the civic participation of underrepresented groups through our public policy internship programs, educational forums and community events.

Our successful Public Policy Program and Public Health & Policy Program, which focus on youth leadership development, are the foundation of our programming and helps ensure that youth are ready to serve as community leaders. It is complemented by our nonpartisan voter education and outreach efforts and our sponsorship of educational forums that seek to encourage youth to be more active and engaged citizens.

If you are a high school or college student, please look at the program information on our website.
