Pro-Vision, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing Houston’s underserved young males into leaders of tomorrow. Founded in 1990 by former Philadelphia Eagles all-pro cornerback Roynell Young, the organization has helped more than 1,500 young males throughout the Greater Houston Area become leaders and productive citizens.

The Pro-Vision Middle Charter School is the first all male HISD charter school model in the state of Texas and the city of Houston. Former U.S. Secretary of Education and capital campaign honorary chair Rod Paige is an advocate of Pro-Vision’s cause and is championing the next era of its efforts through the building of the new training and outreach facilities.

Averting a Crisis
Pro-Vision was created to avert a crisis among Houston’s underserved youth by engaging them in programs that instill accountability and construct personal relationships to help them understand their place in the world.

Inspiring Hope and Purpose
Pro-Vision’s mission is to inspire hope and purpose for individuals, families and communities through moral, cultural and educational opportunities. Pro-Vision is the parent company of three programs that address the challenges faced by the young males it serves:

• The Manhood Development Program is an integrity based developmental program that teaches moral and ethical living through mentoring relationships.
• The All Male Middle Charter School, the first all male charter school in Houston and the state of Texas, addresses the special needs of fifth through eighth grade students who desire a "second chance" at achieving academic success.
• The Enterprise Academy Program is designed to fulfill the economic and social potential of participants by teaching them the skills they need to become productive in the workplace and as entrepreneurs.

Our Future
Pro-Vision is moving into the second phase of its capital campaign, which is slated to raise a total of $7 million, to support a new facility, located at 4590 Wilmington St. in the Sunnyside Neighborhood by 2009.

The future 16-acre site will provide educational and outreach services through a multi-purpose building with classrooms, a library, a media center, a center for discovery and technology, a physical education building/gymnasium with classrooms that will accommodate the Manhood Development Program, the All Male HISD Charter School Model, and will serve as home to the Job Enterprise Academy. Pro-Vision is expected to move into its new facilities in 2008.
