Digital and Cultural Literacy
Overview
New Vision Foundation offers school-based as well as after-school coding and digital literacy classes for disadvantaged youth in Minnesota.
Core customers are African immigrant youth aged 13-18 years – and the communities working to engage them as part of larger education, employment and economic development strategies. We have programming in the Twin Cities Metro area as well as in the Greater Minnesota cities of St Cloud and Willmar.
Delivery
If your organization is seeking solutions to develop the next generation of “global-ready” entrants in the professions, New Vision Foundation may prove a valuable connection.
In collaboration with industry and educational leaders, we rolled out a delivery model that makes the connections communities are seeking to engage businesses, motivate youth, and inspire progress toward local and global sustainable development goals.
"My inspiration to pursue tech comes from a strong desire to make a positive impact, ensuring that the needs and well-being of minorities and other marginalized communities are taken into consideration and prioritized in the development of technological solutions."
