Our Bridge to College Program helps high school seniors prepare for the transition into higher education during the summer of their senior year by pairing each student with an alumni mentor.

Our Career Academies are 5-week summer programs in which high school students engage with leading New York City employers to explore careers, build career readiness, and financial literacy skills, and network with professionals.

Our Career Directory helps students and school staff navigate New York City’s complex landscape of postsecondary career training opportunities by making it easy for students and school staff to find training and certification programs, internships, and apprenticeships.

Our Purpose First Curriculum provides educators with lessons and activities through which students explore and identify their interests and strengths and develop these into intentional postsecondary plans. 

New Visions provides over $1.25 million in scholarships annually to support students pursuing a wide range of postsecondary pathways from career training to college. 

Our Student Advisory Network is an internship-like experience in which students from our partner schools develop leadership, public speaking, and creative problem solving skills through projects which elevate their voices and strengthen the work of their schools and New Visions.
