We formed the Vision Coalition of El Dorado Hills in 2004, and we now have more than 100 individuals, agencies and organizations representing 12 sectors of the community.
Our vision is for all youth of El Dorado Hills to:
- have a successful, safe and healthy transition from adolescence to adulthood
- be fully prepared with attitude, skills, knowledge and experience to achieve their highest potential
- have ample opportunities for participation and decision making

Our mission is to:
- expand opportunities for youth participation and decision making
- increase youth involvement in school and community activities
- coordinate the availability of community resources and services that support youth
- promote activities to keep youth safe, healthy and free from drugs, alcohol and tobacco
Our goals are to:
- increase youth development opportunities and supports
