Mission & Vision Statement
Our mission is to transform lives by empowering at-risk youth, returning citizens, and individuals in need by providing essential technology and life skills. Through access to education, opportunity, food, and shelter, we enable people around the world to achieve lasting self-sufficiency, stability, and hope.
Our vision is a world where poverty, recidivism, addiction, violence, homelessness, suicide, and discrimination are significantly reduced—and where underserved communities thrive through expanded opportunities. We strive to build this future alongside like-minded individuals who champion equity and hope for all people, from every walk of life.
Our Why and Our Work
At Visionary Philanthropy Group Inc., we're not just here to teach skills or provide services—we're here to change trajectories. Behind every workshop is a deeper commitment: to restore dignity, spark confidence, and create momentum in lives that have too often been overlooked or written off.
We focus on real-world tools that open real doors. That means teaching tech not just as a skill, but as a bridge to economic freedom. It means offering stability without judgment, and opportunity with accountability.
We work in partnership with individuals who’ve lived these struggles—because lasting change doesn’t come to communities, it comes from within them.
We're not solving symptoms. We're investing in people.

We envision a world where every individual—regardless of background or circumstance—has access to the resources and skills needed to build lasting self-sufficiency and stability.
Through our global programs, we empower at-risk youth, returning citizens, unhoused individuals, and those in need of food and shelter by teaching technology and essential life skills.
