Vision To Learn Recognized by the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics

September 21, 2015

In September 2015 Vision To Learn was recognized by the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics as one of its 2015 “Bright Spots In Hispanic Education.” This initiative highlights programs that “help ensure the educational attainment for the Hispanic community, from cradle-to-career.” The announcement was made by Alejandra Ceja, Executive Director of the Initiative, on September 15, 2015, at the launch of Hispanic Heritage Month and in honor of the Initiative’s 25th anniversary in Washington, D.C. “There has been notable progress in Hispanic educational achievement, and it is due to the efforts of these Bright Spots in Hispanic Education, programs and organizations working throughout the country to help Hispanic students reach their full potential,” said Alejandra Ceja.

Vision To Learn was recognized for its work delivering quality vision care to over twenty thousand Latino/Hispanic students in low-income neighborhoods. By providing high-quality eye exams and glasses to students in need, Vision To Learn helps ensure they come to school ready to learn. Along with other recognized “Bright Spots,” Vision To Learn will be listed in an online searchable database, which may be accessed here.
