Celebrating their 20th anniversary and moving their headquarters to a new building in downtown Providence, College Visions recently received a Champlin Foundation grant for Chromebooks for students in programs after school at the College Visions office, for students at the new location in Woonsocket High School, and for students taking part in their summer program. The equipment from this grant has proven to be useful throughout their many initiatives for both the academic year and the summer. Having this equipment on hand provides more flexibility in meeting students where they are, allowing them to work independently and at their own pace. College Visions served more than 600 young people in 2023-2024, providing equitable access to higher educational opportunities for all historically underserved communities. In thinking about how this grant has improved the student experience, executive director Lamont Gordon notes that with so much of the college and job application process being online, “we’re able to offer real-world exercises to more of the people we serve.”
