“Vision Trip” is not another name for “Mission Trip.”

Vision Trips play a key role in our Community-to-Community partnership model. A Vision Trip allows community leaders to envision how their community can transform not only the lives of vulnerable children and their communities but also their community back home.

What is a Vision Trip?

A Vision Trip allows those who are considering a partnership with Children’s HopeChest the opportunity to see firsthand the difference our unique Community-to-Community approach can make toward long-term development. The purpose of a Vision Trip is two-fold…

Help partners gain a deeper understanding of HopeChest’s unique Community-to-Community approach.

Build trust and relationship with CarePoint community leaders.

A Vision Trip with Children’s HopeChest is unlike any trip you’ll experience with another organization.

What will I do on a Vision Trip?

On an a Vision Trip, participants visit several CarePoints to evaluate the potential for partnership with specific communities. At each location, we will visit with local leadership, and learn about community assets and the future vision of long-term change. Most importantly, we will discuss the difference a partnership can make in transforming the community.

Additionally, participants engage and interact with the children in the community, visit their homes, and immerse in the community culture to better understand the opportunities and challenges at hand. (Read more about what to expect on a Vision Trip on our blog.)
