Visions of Tomorrow NC (VOT NC) is a donor supported non-profit advocacy organization focused on offering support to children during times of family crisis such as parental incarceration, and other life events that disrupt traditional family support. We work towards creating a brighter day for those less fortunate.
Visions of Tomorrow NC is a registered non-profit 501(c)(3) organization staffed by volunteers who are passionate about what they do. Our goal is to help recently released individuals reintegrate into the community along with maintaining their parental and family bonds during incarceration.
Individuals who are released from correctional facilities walk out the gates with the clothes on their back and extremely limited monetary resources. Without support from family and friends these ex-inmates face hurdles in finding housing, jobs, medical services, as well as a vision for the future.
Visions of Tomorrow NC is committed to providing a temporary bridge for these individuals on the road of hope as they navigate their way back to being productive members of the community. Our goal is to help them maintain their freedom with the resources they need to create their Visions of Tomorrow for themselves and their family.
In North Carolina, more than 25,000 inmates walk out of prisons annually. Most are left behind by a system that provides no support for them and their families. Visions of Tomorrow NC was founded to fill that void by providing a system of support to assist with a seamless integration back into the community.
