College Visions

7th Annual CV Alumni Giving Campaign

Every March, College Visions (CV) holds an Alumni Giving Campaign to support current first-generation students working towards attaining their college degree! This March will be our 7th Annual Alumni Giving Campaign, where our goal is to raise $3,000 by March 31st in support of the Emergency Grant Fund.

This year more than ever, the Emergency Grant Fund has been an essential resource for so many CV students. Due to the pandemic, students have faced increased job loss, food insecurity, and housing instability and the fund has helped to remove some of that financial burden for a number of these students! With your support, you can make a difference in their lives as they work towards a college degree!

“Give in honor of the support you received and who you’ve received it from.”

Learn with CV Series

This year has been everything but normal. More than ever, people are facing new challenges, stresses and changes that have shifted how we do our work and how we take care of ourselves. For College Visions and our students, this has meant going completely virtual and navigating big decisions during a time of great uncertainty. We want to make sure that our community is doing what they can to take time for themselves and find some calm during the chaos. So this year, we invite you to take a seat and learn some fun skills with us!
