Delaware

Vision To Learn – Delaware, the first state in the national expansion, launched in October 2014. In less than a year Delaware’s program expanded statewide, serving students in district and charter schools in all three counties. Vision To Learn has partnered with 14 school districts, 8 charter schools, 3 independent schools, as well as numerous communities organizations including the Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, summer camp programs and health clinics. In April 2015, Vision To Learn Delaware received approval for Medicaid reimbursement and now receives 60% of its funding from local foundations, corporations and individuals and 40 % from Medicaid. To date, Vision To Learn has examined over 3500 children in grades K-12 and provided over 3000 free glasses throughout the state.
