Sankofa Vision Community School






Sankofa Vision, Inc. will establish the Sankofa Vision Community
School, a family learning center located on the Sankofa Gardens
campus.
Sankofa Vision Community School will house SVI's existing
programs and expanded offerings. The permanent facility will increase our
capacity to serve more participants, from 250 to 1,000 annually, projected
over three years.

The Sankofa Vision Community School is conceived as a "green"
(environmentally friendly) design and building project, with these goals:

    1. Innovation: To renovate a traditional dwelling using "green"
    methods (for example, reuse/recycling of materials, solar energy,
    water conservation system).

    2. Sustainability To create an integrated plan for the "green"
    management of the school, organic garden, and campus.

    3. Empowerment: To establish an intergenerational learning   
    center that offers formal and informal learning experiences in
    academics/tutoring, life-skills, the arts, community advocacy,
    entrepreneurship, and other topics.

    4. Eco-Education: To utilize the school and campus as an urban
    demonstration site for educating people on "green- lifestyle" topics
    (for example, organic gardening, recycling, architectural design,
    building materials, housewares)          

    5. Community Building: To provide a progressive "urban retreat"
    that accommodates gatherings, classes, and workshops for local
    participants, as well as visiting presenters, guests, and groups.

    6. Economic Development: To catalyze job training, employment,
    and (micro)enterprises in strategic "green-collar" and "cultural
    economy" businesses.

Remembering the past.  Building our future.
